Hmmm. I must be screwing up something up. This is what I had which
works the way I want:

\makeevenhead{headings}{\leavevmode\headlinefont\llap{\pagenumberfont\thepage\hskip
6pt} \leftmark\hfill}{}{}

In this one I replace the \llap bit with your suggestion:

\makeevenhead{headings}{\leavevmode\headlinefont\makebox[0pt][l]{\pagenumberfont\thepage\hspace{6pt}}
\leftmark\hfill}{}{}

but the number doesn't stick out in the margin--it overlaps the \leftmark text.
