You only need to look to those below xfree. In this case perl-tk is the 
culprit as it pulls in xfree. However I cannot find where Tk-TableMatrix 
(which pulls in perl-tk) comes from. screen certainly does not depend on 
it.

ps. Try "emerge regen", it seems that your dependency cache might be 
corrupted.
