Are you sure it's due to upgrading Xorg and not Gnome?
See  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/175870

When using almost exactly your arrangement it works fine here.

$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete+lednum(group_lock)"   };
        xkb_symbols   { include 
"pc(pc104)+us(basic)+us(intl):2+ch(fr):3+group(ctrls_toggle)+level3
(win_switch)+ctrl(nocaps)+compose(menu)+eurosign(e)"  };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"     };
};

If it's not the failing Gnome daemon, maybe it is Gnome interfering 
in some other way with the keyboard?  Here I had to switch off all 
things in KDE's Control Center > Regional > Keyboard Layout to make 
the settings in xorg.conf work.
