You can do this yourself, if you want to: simply copy the xfce
meta-ebuild to your own overlay (man portage if you aren't sure how this
works), and remove or comment out the packages you don't want. I do
this myself to get a GNOME without evolution, epiphany, and such
(gnome-light doesn't like me :(). Next time the ebuild in the tree is
updated, though, you'll have to repeat the whole process again before
updating, or risk returning to the full package.
