By reading the virtualx.eclass file, I really wonder what
this 
is necessary for. Why is an X server needed to build gtk ?

You tell us:

echo "x11-base/xorg-server" >>
/etc/portage/package.provided
emerge --oneshot x11-libs/gtk+

Then see what breaks.  Don't forget to fix your system by
removing the
xorg-server from package.provided when you are done.
