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
