You should put, for example

games-roguelike/nethack -X -gnome -qt

into /etc/portage/package.use

The problem's more than likely being caused by the '-custom' at the
end of your ebuild name. Try changing it to
nethack-custom-3.4.3.ebuild, instead, and see if that clears up your
issue.

...you'll also (more than likely) have to move the folder in your
PORTDIR_OVERLAY from games-roguelike/nethack to
games-roguelike/nethack-custom...

I didn't realize that could be done, but now that I've actually *read*
the relevant parts of the Gentoo documentation I see that it'd be the
easier solution.  Amazing what a little reading will accomplish
... *groan* :)

Thanks, Neil!
