gpm is in the default use flags so to not use gpm you need to have "-gpm" in your use flags. As for what is trying to pull it in, try "emerge -evp world | grep '+gpm'". When I do it, I find xemacs and giftcurs. I'm yet to figure what is pulling in xemacs, but I like it in giftcurs because I can then use the mouse in a kterm.
