Yes, since you have given it the name of an ebuild, not a file.
You can do what you want by "equery files
Just unmerge libXext and xextproto and then emerge them again.
It looks like some files have been moved from one to the other.
On my system I have libXtst-1.1.0 installed but I'm running with
xextproto-7.1.1 try unmasking xextproto and see if that helps.
