Well, now it's working. I tried the emerge a third time and it worked. Don't know why.
The ispell mentioned in the error message below is apparently not the ispell package (neither app-text, nor gnu-xemacs), but something internal to XFree. I'm now running XFree 4.3.0 on three of my systems -- only one has the ispell package installed.
