I've been able to do so; basically I switched over to the standard profile,
disabled selinux in the kernel, and re-emerged system for new use flags.
There were some other details but overall the process was pretty painless,
anyone ambitious enough to configure a hardened system can probably handle
the switch without much problem. Not that I'm encouraging you to drop
hardened (especially on a laptop that could be exposed to random wifi
networks ;-)
I'd love to keep it hardened but I want to install programs like
skype, miro, and mplayer that don't seem to compile under a hardened
profile.

IIUC, certain flags can be problematic on a very few ebuilds.
Don't know about miro and skype, but for mplayer I have the following in
