At that point you were supposed to follow the migration to modular X guide 
[1]. The important bits you've missed is setting the VIDEO_CARDS and 
INPUT_DEVICES variables in /etc/make.conf.

That means /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so from 
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati is missing. That will be pulled in by 
x11-base/xorg-x11 if VIDEO_CARDS includes radeon. So set those two variables 
and run:

# emerge -va1 --newuse x11-base/xorg-x11
