It's 7.0.8.5, not 7.0.9.5: https://bugs.gentoo.org/663468#c5 Some deprecated features of the API were removed. Unfortunately also the pkgconfig file was renamed to Magick++ which made inkscape silently disable imagemagick support and the compilation failure/incompatibility wasn't noticed for a long time. > However, the unstable version of inkscape-1.0_beta1 requires imagemagick > versions prior to 7.0.9.5, with the currently available version of > imagemagick-6.9.10.74 fulfilling the requirement. > imakemagick-7.0.8.5, again.

You only need the C++-API for inkscape and not the commandline tools. Put "media-gfx/graphicsmagick cxx -imagemagick" in your package.use and imagemagick and graphicsmagick can be installed at the same time.
