No. There's an option in the spec file for a /etc/portage overlay (I believe), 
or you could just unmask it in your snapshot. Catalyst is supposed to be 
non-interactive, which means not having to insert something into the chroot in 
the middle of the build :)

Remove sys-apps/gli from the spec file.
