USE=icu should not be needed globally. This is how it works here:
$ grep icu -r /etc/portage
/etc/portage/package.use/sys:>=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.2 icu abi_x86_32
/etc/portage/package.use/clients:www-client/firefox system-cairo system-icu
system-jpeg system-libvpx system-sqlite
/etc/portage/package.use/xorg:>=dev-libs/icu-54.1-r1 abi_x86_32
/etc/portage/package.use/media:>=media-libs/harfbuzz-0.9.41 abi_x86_32 icu
/etc/portage/package.use/Qt:dev-qt/qtwebkit icu
$ eix -l dev-libs/libxml2
[I] dev-libs/libxml2
