I'm sorry, but this makes me giggle while simultaneously feel a bit sad for 
you.  I was using "/path/to/" as a placeholder for the *actual* path for 
xrdb.  You'll have to use tools like which or find or slocate to find 
exactly what that path is, and then substitute it in.

For example, on my system (monster):
monster ~ # which xrdb
/usr/bin/xrdb
monster ~ # equery b /usr/bin/xrdb
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/xrdb in *... ]
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 (/usr/bin/xrdb)

Luckily, xrdb was in my path, otherwise which wouldn't have found it, and I 
would have had to use slocate or find.

My guess is that the same package will provide this binary on your system, 
but you should go ahead and do the which + equery, just to make sure.  
x11-apps/xrdb is probably for the new, version 7, split xorg.

Also, to assume you I don't have x11-apss/xrdb installed:
monster ~ # eix -c xrdb
[N] app-emacs/xrdb-mode (): An Emacs major mode for editing X resource 
database files
[N] x11-apps/xrdb (): X.Org xrdb application
