Looks like the ebuild under gentopia is missing the gnome USE check for
configure, try using the ebuild attached here instead.

Copy it back into the gentopia directory:
/usr/portage/local/layman/gentopia/net-misc/networkmanager/networkmanager-
0.6.4-r1.ebuild
Rebuild the digest: ebuild
/usr/portage/local/layman/gentopia/net-misc/networkmanager/networkmanager-
0.6.4-r1.ebuild digest
emerge -va networkmanager

I have the gnome flag disabled globally, using a KDE desktop.

I found a link to a gentoo specific howto that mentions an additional
overlay (sabayon). I'm trying to install it that way now.
