With portage-2.2 you can do: 

$: emerge @live-rebuild

This rebuilds ALL 'live' (*-9999) packages currently installed on a Gentoo 
system. So one strategy would be to install the live packages from the x11 
overlay and rebuild them on a regular basis using the above command. The 
beauty of this approach is that portage still keeps track of package 
dependencies and rebuilds them in the right order.
