Ahh, now I see. You want /usr/libdir/X11, not /usr/libdir for that
stuff. I looked into it a little, and that makes a lot of sense. It
seems to fit fairly well with the upstream intent, too.

Looking in the imake config files, X11.tmpl has this:
#ifndef LibDir
# ifdef ProjectRoot
#  define LibDir Concat(ProjectRoot,/lib/X11)
# else
#  define LibDir /usr/lib/X11
# endif
#endif

So, that seems pretty fair. I'll fix up the ebuild a bit to work with
that and commit it.

I just committed a fix for one hardcoded "lib" xkb symlink that slipped
in instead of get_libdir(), which should treat lib64 properly on the
profiles that use lib64.
