Okay... 

XFree86-4.2-r10 (and even -r9) *will* build under gcc3.1 for me but
there appears to be a problem using emerge to do it. Here's what I did:

  ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r10.ebuild unpack
  cd /var/tmp/portage/..../xfree-4.2.0-r10/xc
  make World
  cd nls && make (if you want nls)
  cd /
  ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r10.ebuild install qmerge
 
Success. I don't have 3dfx h/w so ymmv. I haven't looked into mesa. I've
got nvidia h/w so afaik, i don't need it.

I've started a bug on this topic:

Feel free to add wiki.
