Just emerge mozilla-firefox. It should pull in all xorg dependencies it needs. Alternatively, just emerge xorg-server. Don't emerge the full xorg meta-package (x11-base/xorg-x11), because that one will pull in some unnecessary stuff.

However, the difference between a minimal and a full xorg installation is pretty small, just a few fonts and some small tools. It shouldn't affect your performance.

/edit: Can't help with your build error, sorry.
