I did emerge =gnome-base/gnome-3.2.0, and unmasked/keyworded by hand
the necessary packages. But maybe just check that the "**" is not in
any file on /etc/portage/package.keyworks/* (except perhaps the ones
I'm using). If there is no "**" keyworkd, no non-live ebuild should be
installed.

Oh, and also in /etc/portage/package.unmask/*, of course.

Good luck.
