I only have a couple of minutes so I apologise for not writing a
complete answer. FWIW the gpg-agent was hard masked (yesterday?) and
just adding it to your /etc/portage/package.keywords won't work. You
need to use package.mask instead.
However, I'm not sure why the hard masking was put in place - there
may be a good reason to stop using gpg-agent and instead switch to
another package. What should we use instead guys?
To have gpg-agent starting automatically you need to enter eval
"$(gpg-agent --daemon)" in the appropriate desktop manager startup
file(s). Check the gentoo document on this topic (I can't remember if
I saw it in the wiki). There was also an answer to one of my posts in
this mailing list on gpg.
To get it started immediately just run eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"
from a terminal.
More later.
