xshm has existed since 1991, so I would be surprised if it isn't
present in all gentoo installations troughout all time...

But I guess giving the choise of not enabling it doesn't hurt. It does use
a large amount of shared memory, which is not an unlimited resource.
And there could also be bugs, of course.
