What you have to do is identify what you want to install (e.g. X and the window manager) then look at the dependencies, recursively for each package until you have no more dependencies. Then you can derive a build order that works. e.g. X.org depends on png and fontconfig and optionally on PAM, png depends on nothing, fontconfig depends on freetype and expat with optional dependancy on docbook-utils... Note that there is no single correct order for building the desktop, it varies as you include or exclude optional dependencies.
