I have dbus installed, so the package still exists. If it is a valid USE-flag,
I don't know.
In your list, I see a few I have never used. Most of them, I would personally
only set for those packages where I want them to apply, but that is a personal
decision.
My main concerns with your list are:
# -DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS
This seems more like something that should be added as a compiler-flag for 1
package or something in an apache config file.
# abi_x86_32
I am assuming you want packages to also be build for 32-bit.
If that is the case, I would set the following in your make.conf file:
# ABI_X86="64 32"
and remove this entry from your USE-list.
# consolkit
I think this should be "consolekit" as that one does exist.

This is related to the above comment about your abi... useflag.

Alan is really good at decyphering these.
My advice would be:
double-check your make.conf, especially the USE-entries I listed above.
Once done, first stabilise your current system (as you want them global) then
start adding packages.
Eg:
1) edit make.conf using comments above
2) stabilise system with last modifications:
# emerge -auDN @world
(At the least you want the new USE-flags to take effect for what you have)
Note: this will take a while as you are telling portage you want 32 and 64 bit
where possible.
Also don't forget the "update" and "deep" to ensure any packages are updated
where needed. (I saw a version-difference causing possible problems with udev/
eudev above)
3) When this is done, you should be able to proceed with the rest of your
installation.
