I installed the following for my xorg installation:

x11/xorg-libraries
x11/xauth
x11/xinit
x11/xterm

x11-fonts/xorg-fonts

x11-servers/xorg-server

x11-wm/twm

x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vga
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa

For the video driver you can pick the one that matches your video card so do a little digging first. As a fallback plan you might want to also install the xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-vga drivers. I have a game crash because it could not find the vga driver. If you have a joystick then you would install xf86-input-joystick, and the same goes for other input hardware so look at what you have and see if there is a specific driver for it. TWM (Tabbed Window Manager) is good for right after you install the base system and before you install the window manager of your choosing, because it makes it possible to resize and move the three default terminal windows that appear when you startx.
