I finally managed to get DVI hotplug working with the randr-1.2 branch 
of xf86-video-ati. I'm posting the ebuild below in case anyone wants to 
use it.

You need to keyword and install the following:
xorg-server-1.3.0.0
xrandr-1.2.0
xf86-video-ati-9999 (ebuild below)

Note that the current git version has a problem compiling alone due to 
unset version symbols, USE=version-patch is there to correct that. 
(thanks to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-374745.html)

After that you can reconfigure your outputs into any configuration using 
xrandr.

This, together with libata ultrabay hotswap, puts Linux in full hardware 
support parity with Windows on my T40. w00t

Thanks to Alex Deucher who made this possible.
