Sounds like a great candidate for a bug at bugs.gentoo.org.

Although, maybe we should just make the emerge system line be
# USE="-gtk -X" emerge system

or somesuch to avert these kinds of problems in the future.

Also, once we get vim in the build image, then we might be able to meet 
this dependence without actually having to rebuild vim.
