I just figured out that VNC thing(yeah...I am bit slow, ya'know :) and decided to put viewer on my gentoo machine, but here seems like I am going to have a lot of fun with that.
The problem is that the following packages tightvnc needs are in conflict with my existing setup:

Code:

# emerge -epv tightvnc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

I am not really sure which way is the best to resolve that issue with minimum blood and risk.

Maybe anybody could suggest something?

Thank you!

Maybe you should leave out the ´-e´switch, and try
Code:
emerge -av tightvnc
instead.

OK, then first you should upgrade your xorg to the stable version, then try to emerge tightvnc.

IMHO you can try
Code:
emerge -uDvaN world
first. Probably it would upgrade your xorg. But I would recommend to read http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml

that has nothing to do with tightvnc, that is the fact that you are on the old monolithic Xorg 6.9 and should be on the new modular >7.0

emerge -C <package> to all the packages:

Code:
emerge -C kbproto util-macros libX11 xextproto xf86bigfontproto inputproto xproto libXau bigreqsproto libXdmcp xcmiscproto xtrans libICE libSM libXt libXext printproto libXp xorg-cf-files imake libXmu libXpm libXaw gccmakedep && emerge xorg && emerge tightvnc
