In the unity-gentoo overlay. At the moment the overlay packages are
clashing the already unmasked gnome-3.8. It requires a little job to
manage it.

I did not know that. Based on that gnome wants systemd and unity uses
gnome stuff I thought that there is a strong relation between them.

Gnome wants that and I do not know why. Maybe I did not pay enough

I switched back to consolekit to avoid the possible collisions. The
first thing I want is the Unity system working properly. After that
I'm going to ask the guys who manages the unity overlay about
consolekit/systemd stuff.
