Hello group,
I don't remember the exact details but I noticed that
any attempt to upgrade x11 revealed that everything
under xorg-x11 was blocked. So I did emerge -C
xorg-x11 then emerge xorg-x11. So far so good. I ran
xorgconfig and passed it the same values as before
since the hardware hasn't changed. Now when I run
startx it gives:
<...>

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

heathen@localhost ~ $ lsmod

The modules are there under
../kernel/drivers/char/drm/ just as always.
So I'm stumped.

I don't have an ATI card, but I am pretty sure, that X complains about the
missing radeon driver, not the missing kernel module
X driver module =/= kernel module
you need both.

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

That was the answer. Interesting, I googled high and
low and never came across it.
One more thing -- in the Howto it says to
#emerge -Ca xorg-x11 virtual/x11.
What's this "virtual/x11"? Portage said it couldn't
find it.
Thanks Bo.

It's a virtual package, which can be satisfied by any one of several X
server ebuilds. It means that apps can depend on a virtual x11 package,
rather than being tied to say Xorg specifically. Don't worry about it,
if you typed the name right and portage didn't find it, it's not a
problem and the right thin will happen when you emerge modular X
