It's because it inherits the virtualx.eclass -- gtk+ requires an X
server (Xvfb) to build. What you can do is set USE="minimal -dmx -xorg
-xprint" in your package.use for xorg-server to minimize this. Also try
VIDEO_CARDS="" and INPUT_DEVICES="" in make.conf.

However, this only works well on xorg-server-1.1, so you will also need
to add it to package.keywords.
