The grep package has a "static" USE flag. e2fsprogs does not. So
enabling the static USE flag has no effect on e2fsprogs.
The easiest (easier?) thing to do would be to compile e2fsprogs
statically by hand and copy over the resulting binary
# tar zxvf /path/to/e2fsprogs-1.x.x.tar.gz
# cd e2fsprogs-1.x.x
# ./configure --enable-static
# make
# ldd e2fsck/e2fsck
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb8033000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7edb000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb8034000)
