The R status means REBUILD. Usually, if it's an @world it's pulling that in because something about that package changed and so it needs to rebuild it. The --noreplace option would block that if portage didn't think it was needed. Based on your options, I'd say that it's probably a USE flag was changed. I don't use binpkgs myself, preferring to compile except in certain circumstances (can we say RUST!?) that I need to use a -bin variant. You can try without it, but I recommend leaving your change-use and newuse flags in place and letting the system rebuild xmodmap.
Yes, thank you, but neither the server nor the client have any USE flags for that package defined. And the package has to be pretty stable by now ;-)
