Absolutely! I was about to post the same thing -- put some kind of use
on netscape-flash to pull in libflashsupport if desired, and then just
keep the standard USE flags on libflashsupport to setup the kind of
functionality wanted by the user.
Forcing a depend on libflashsupport unconditionally is just plain
stupid; there is no possible justification for it. netscape-flash has
gone without such silly dependencies for some time, as it really does
work just fine without them. :)
(FWIW, I've never needed any kind of weird extra functionality not found
in Flash itself; OSS and ESD are both the spawn of the devil!)
