I don't know if you have other options but the following will work:

# emerge --resume --ask

Press Ctrl+z when you see the following question (that will suspend the emerge 
process after it has loaded the resume list):

"Would you like to resume merging these packages? [Yes/No]"

Then: 

# emerge -va1dev/lang/python

And when that is compiled with the X use flag enabled:

# fg

That will resume the emerge process. Now type yes[ENTER] to make it resume the 
compilation by answering that was asked before you suspended the process.

I hope that is clear enough.

That's an alternative route:

# emerge --skipfirst
