Well, there are still a few pre 2.4 glibc versions in portage which use nptl and nptl-only. Therefor the flags are at least still needed and can't be entirely removed from portage. Furthermore, depending on your profile the explicit flags can be removed, because they belong to the default USE flags in the 2006.1 profile. (This is of course only true as long as you're not excluding everything with -* and therefor terminate the default set) In 2006.0 only nptl is among the default flags.
