I don't have exim installed, but I'm guessing it depends on "logger",
which can be provided by either sysklogd or syslog-ng.
Probably:
1. You had sysklogd installed at one point (thus got an init file for it)
2. You emerge -C'd it (thus why /usr/sbin/syslogd doesn't exist)
3. You have /etc in CONFIG_PROTECT but don't have /etc/init.d in
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, so portage left the sysklogd init file on your
system.
I'm guessing you should be able to resolve this with:
1. rc-update -d sysklogd
2. rm /etc/init.d/sysklogd
Then add /etc/init.d to CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK in /etc/make.conf if you
want portage to automatically remove init files when you remove the
associated package.
