Knowing the exact versions in the dependency chain would be useful.

gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.x and 3.10.x have the (quite
unsupported) openrc-force USE flag. Set it, and it will force gsd to
be used with OpenRC, so you don't need to depend on systemd.

Be aware, this is totally unsupported; from
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:

gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon:openrc-force - Skip systemd
dependency (#480336), enabling this flag will become your setup to be
fully unsupported by upstream and downstream Gnome team. Do not try to
enable it unless completely needed

So, if something breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Regards.
