You can't change the USE flags a binary package was built with. Binary
packages are built with a certain set of flags, and they're stuck with
that set of flags until you recompile the whole thing.
I'd recommend you emerge --nodeps xorg-x11 in order to change its
USEflags to the ones you want (no compilation necessary), and then
emerge -k to pull in the binary packages depended on by its new flags,
which will save you the compiling time.
HTH.
