I guess what I would do in your situation would be to just nuke everything in
the x11 categories:
# grep x11 /var/lib/portage/world
# cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva x11*/*
The first gets a list of the x11 packages that you had in your world file. The
second removes all of it. Then I would emerge modular X.org again and make
sure not to overwrite it by emerging monolithic X.org.
