Maybe I'm wrong, but binary packages are BINARY (-k), so, you can't
change their USE, because they're already compiled, they'll use the
flags that were used by the time the package was created. If you
install it creating binaries (FEATURES="buildpkg" emerge xorg-x1) now
with another USE or emerge it and create the binaries after it
(quickpkg), then you may get what you want when you try and reinstall
it.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm using logic here, not
exactly empiric knowledge ;)
