No, it's not.  You will need to scan the documentation at www.gentoo.org, or maybe 
someone else will respond.  You apparently have the option config-protect=none (not 
sure the exact syntax).  This should have been reset after installation.

Normally, gentoo does not apply updates to /etc (and a few other directories) 
automatically.  You have to run etc-update when instructed to, and you will be asked 
to confirm each file change.
