This is new turf for me. Upon issuing this command string I get::
# ps auxf | grep systemd

This just means that there is nothing else running on your system with
"systemd" in the name.
I have no clue what this means, nor what action, if any I should take
to remedy this. I have never used systemd and put up/modify
everything I can to keeep systemd off. Any explaination or advice,
like a master list of things/configs to ensure nothing 'systemd
related' in on the system, is most welcome.
Sorry, but you came into the middle of a conversation started by
someone else, and all suggestions provided were directed primarily at
him. What is the "this" you think you need to remedy?
In the case of the original poster to this thread, he was not using
systemd, but did have it installed, so I suggested that ps command to
see if any part of systemd was running on his system, even though he
didn't think there was.
In your case, if you have never installed systemd, then you should not
have anything to worry about. While many of us might call it
"intrusive," as far as I know, it does not have the ability to actually
install itself without you knowing about it. If you have eix
installed, you could even do "eix systemd" to confirm you don't have
any of it's pieces installed.
Just a note: I've been in poor health, over the last 2 years, so
excuse my lack of keeping my gentoo system(s) robustly updated.
Not updating your system may make it difficult to do once you are
ready, but it does not change the state of what you do or do not have
installed or running. If you need help when you DO try to update, just
start a new thread with an appropriate subject, and there are plenty
of folks who will offer advice.
