obviously select only the modular parts you actually need don't just emerge
xorg-x11 (this pulls down loads of unnecessary stuff)
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
