Now it's different, but not fixed.

I revised make.conf to say -mcpu=ev56
emerge --unmerge xorg-server and the nv,fbdev, and vesa drivers I 
installed.  After I emerged all that back, Xorg -configure still failed 
with a number of screens does not match the number of devices error, but 
it does write an xorg.conf.new.  That does not work, of course.
Now a simple starx brings up a graphics screen with three terminal 
instances started, but the computer is locked up.
For a lark, I --unmerged the keyboard, mouse, and evdev devices.  I did 
the same to xterm, just in case.  Emerged them back, but no difference.

I originally emerged the whole xorg-x11 package.  That took so long, I 
went directly to xorg-server for uninstall/reinstall.  I hoped that 
would be enough.
My methods seem relatively brutal and ignorant, but I don't know any 
better.

Adios,  DW
