OK.  I dug a little deeper and found that rio uses x11-libs/libX11 and
x11-libs/libXext as build dependencies.  These I think are the correct ones to
use and not xauth.  This does raise the issue then if the gentoo ebuilds
should conditionally use X and not build rio if you do not want rio on a
non-gui system.  That will of course be an issue for a program specific ebuild
system and not for plan9port.
