I don't know if line 151 in the ebuild is related to the messages you're 
getting.  I see in '/var/db/repos/gentoo/sys-auth/polkit/polkit-122-r1.ebuild'

    147         if use daemon; then
    148                 if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]]; then
    149                         diropts -m 0700 -o polkitd
    150                 fi
    151                 keepdir /etc/polkit-1/rules.d
    152         fi

Which was created with permissions 0700 and ownership of polkitd:root,

# stat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d
  File: /etc/polkit-1/rules.d
  Size: 46        	Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   directory
Device: 0,21	Inode: 1004        Links: 1
Access: (0700/drwx------)  Uid: (  102/ polkitd)   Gid: (    0/    root)

I would think this would be at the end, not early in the build stage.  I 
mention it just in case it may be relevant.
