Now I took some time and upgraded to xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 again. At 
first, X started fine, but I had no keyboard and mouse. As before, which I 
workarounded by compiling xorg-server without hal. It turned out I had to 
re-compile xf86-input-evdev. Had forgotten this, although it is in the 
'qlist -I -C x11-drivers/' output and the xorg-server ebuild told me to 
rebuild all this.
Now, the good thing is that X is running, I have mouse and keyboard. German 
keyboard, configured by hal, not directly in xorg.conf. Hooray. The bad 
thing is that I only get a blank screen, regardless of the driver (fglrx, 
radeonhd, radeon, vesa, ati). With one driver I was even able to change the 
screen resolution vial Ctrl-Alt-+, my monitor showed this, but it still was 
blank. I also tried xorg-server-1.6.4, with the same result.

Now I went back to xorg-server-1.5.3-r7, re-compiled everything X related, 
and at least it is working again.
