The above listing shows that phonon will be built with the "vlc" use
flag, so clearly you haven't trimmed USE down to "just"
bash-completion, ncurses, samba, slang, xattr. In fact, if you had
done so you would've also trimmed out cxx, posix, and threads, which
would probably not be the best idea.
So for concreteness, can you post the complete USE list, _not_ the
list in /etc/make.conf, since that does not show you the USE enabled
*by default* on whichever profile you have chosen to use. To get the
list of all USE flags, try
emerge --info
In this particular case, you can consider adding "-vlc" to your USE
and try again.
