But, one thing about kmod is that you can turn off the command line
portions of it completely on a monolythic system since udev just uses
the library. That is actually the main reason we are transitioning over
to kmod.

You do that by putting the following in /etc/portage/package.use:

sys-apps/kmod -compat -tools
