Made that change soon as Andre and Dale spoke up.
Thanks for the tips and commentary about profiles... good to know.
Maybe you missed this from back up the thread:

But that was before setting the profile to:
[...]/default/linux/x86/13.0
as suggested by several posters now.
Now under the new profile what you suggest... removing the polkit -gtk
from /etc/portage/package.use and putting `-gtk' in make.conf had a
good effect on emerge -vuNDp world.
Thanks for bringing it backup... made difference under the proper
profile.
