determine the exact dependencies necessary

in addition to kdrive (which I'm not hugely familiar with but search "xorg kdrive" on google and i found some useful mailing lists etc.) USE="minimal" reduces unneceassary stuff i use minimal as a global for a lot of packages when building livecd/usb's

I use gentoo-portage to check what use flags do, also actually reading the ebuild in question can tell you a lot

http://gentoo-portage.com/x11-base/xorg-server/USE#ptabs

check the bottom of the page it mentions

minimal
Global: Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, fonts, most drivers, non-critical features)

i haven't tried kdrive yet but will at some point

You can try USE=kdrive (kdrive is X11 mode for embedded devices),
AFAIK it reduces it's size by removing useless features.
