Wait, you're saying that *emerging* grub-static is repartitioning your drive? I'm going to go out on a limb, without actually looking at the grub ebuild, and say: no, no it's not. I'm not familiar with why you'd need the grub-static package, instead of just 'USE="static" grub', so I can't further answer your questions, except to say that you should duplicate the conditions under which your grub-static package was initially built by using /etc/portage/package.*, and then put grub-static (and not grub) in your 'world'.
