Of course. It's USE="-upower" to make.conf and couple of /etc/portage/package.use entries, like for example 'xfce-base/xfce4-session -udev', as in, some packages use the generic USE flag 'udev' for pulling upower (which is, essentially, a udev helper) You may have to avoid some "meta" packages, like gnome-base/gnome, which are too greedy with their dependencies - Samuli
