I did an emerge sync and then emerge -u --deep system -p which listed rsync as the only package to be upgraded - I did upgrade it. I then did emerge -u --deep world -p and get a long list of stuff - most of it Gnome stuff marked N.
Exactly the same thing happened to my server just now which has no X or gnome or GUI installed at all. The reason was the tcl/tk use flag. Once I disabled it they all disappeared leaving only upgrades. What a relief!
