I started to post that it looked like some other package was pulling it
in but portage's output is sometimes cryptic at best.  Sometimes I can
figure it out but usually, I have to get Alan or Neil to pull out their
magic decoder ring and uncrypt the thing. 

Anyway, glad you got it sorted out and all is well again.
