I think the normal portage configuration contains userpriv, which
causes portage to drop root privledges and run as portage:portage.
Try:
2) FEATURES=-userpriv emerge seahorse
Although it is a badly behaved ebuild that wants to modify actual
system files just to build...you might also have to disable
sandboxing. See 'man make.conf'.
