It is at least 20 window managers / desktops in gentoo that know
nothing about sys-auth/polkit, or can be installed without it,
including ROX, Razor-QT, XFCE, afterstep, *box, enlightenement, fluxbox,
fvwm, fvwm-crystal and wmaker.
But, and this is a big but, the 3 desktop profiles in portage depend on
polkit.
A desktop profile that doesn't depend on polkit can be easily done from
the desktop profile with the following USE changes:
USE="-consolekit -policykit -udisks -upower"
Can such a desktop profile be incorporated in portage?
