I'm slowly getting a hang of this...
In the make config, I had to disable X (e.g. -X)...That stopped it from compiling the xfree dependancy! I thought I already did that (I followed nobspangles tut!); guess I forgot...
Oh well it's emerging now...

editing your make.conf file does global changes.. if you only wish to change it for mod_php or when you are emerge'ing you can do stuff like this
USE="-x" emerge -av mod_php

the -a has it ask you if you wish to emerge so you can check everything out.. Also the -v shows info about all the flags that are used.. I just got into the habit of doing that..

also if you wish to make custom packages with there own use flags you edit i *think* the file
/etc/portage/packages.use or something of that.. which then you can tell only flags that affect PHP .. this is better approach since it doesn't affect system wide.. unless you don't plan on using X at all or have anything support it..

Also i am slowly learning emerge too.
