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.
