You can overide the global USE variable specified in /etc/make.conf for
specific ebuilds by pass a USE="<whatever> on the command line.

Actually, the alsa-0.9 driver ebuild has an easter egg for you to build
a specific driver (or a list of a subset of drivers) only, see the
alsa-driver-0.9.0_beta10.ebuild. Don't know if something similar could
be done with Xfree.
