That means you have xorg-x11 already installed on your system. Xfree
and xorg-x11 conflict with each other. Why are you trying to install
xfree anyway? Before long, it won't be in portage anymore.

hello,

before doing 'emerge unmerge xfree' try to 'quickpkg xorg-x11'. it
creates a binary package for xorg-x11. i want you to backup it up. maybe
few days later... want to get back with xorg-x11. it saves time. :-)
