Not really. xorg-x11 requires ati-drivers only if you have fglrx in 
VIDEO_CARDS (or video_cards_fglrx in use flags) and googlearth has a 
dependency (on amd64) on any of the following:

# cat /usr/portage/x11-misc/googleearth/googleearth-4_beta.ebuild
[...]
RDEPEND=[...]
[...]
	|| (
		>=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-7.0
		>=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r3
		x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
		x11-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers
		>=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.8.25-r1 )
[...]

If *any* of those packages are installed the requirement is satisfied and it 
won't pull in any others. If none are installed it will install the first on 
the list (>=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-7.0). Hence it will never pull 
ati-drivers in...
