Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing Xorg to bail out like this? I am running ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

The good news first: yes (I know).
The bad news: you are in deep trouble now 
No, seriously, not that bad...
Let me guess: you are using a 'hardened' version of gcc, right?
There are currently some issues with gcc compiled with the hardened USE-flag, resulting in a broken libbitmap.a
Some people are currently working on it (google for "gcc libbitmap.a xorg" if you want to know more).
So, you just could wait, or... ok, you don't want, I see.
Or, if you still have another gcc version which was build without the hardened flag, remerge xorg-x11 with that version.
If not, remove the USE-flags "hardened" and, to be sure, "pic" and "pie" from /etc/make.conf (for now).
Then first remerge gcc, then xorg-x11 (don't hit me, I'm not guilty for that crap).
Be prepared to also have to recompile your kernel and your card-drivers with your new gcc, if your card-driver
(nvidia?) doesn't work anymore.
If it helps (don't thinks so), you're not alone: right now I finished the whole procedure.
At least my system is sane again!  |

Thanks for that, I would never have guessed that one!
I'll have to wait to recompile gcc, for some reason my cpufreq support is b0rked and has detected my CPU as running at 189MHz instead of 900MHz - I guess i should fix that first...

Glad to hear it works! 
I have to correct myself in a small detail, though:

As I understand it now, the "pic" flag is the same as -fpic gcc option.
Anything not compiled with that flag will reject prelinking. Again: if I got that right.
I'll soon recompile xorg with that flag and I'll tell you, if it causes any problems... |

Here I'm back as promized.
Just finished the remerge, here my 1.impressions (and just finished means, take it with a pint of salt):
Looks like the pic-flag didn't brake anything, but also don't expect any remarkable performance increase.
Though it seems the X-server loads somewhat faster now. Also (with active xcompmgr), my problems with
fast-scrolling large numbers of text lines aren't gone, but it's better now. If scrolling in a 'human-readable' way,
there's no problem at all. Manually resizing seems slightly better now, but still not acceptable (personally, no
big deal since I don't need it often). Fast resizing (from task-bar) works fine, as it did before. |

I have the same problem. Lets see if this works for me...
[EDIT]That did not work on the first pass as now xorg fails building but I am going to try a change to my CFLAGS and see if that helps.[/EDIT]

Moved to Duplicate Threads, please see USE=hardened breaks XOrg server for more information and direct any followups there, too.
