You > probably will need to keyword kmod. adev-197 has a kmod useflag, on by default (at least in my profile). Disabling it lets you keep module-init-tools. I noticed because I am one of those risk-takers who has USE -* , and now I'm wondering what the benefits of kmod would be for me (and/or disadvantages). If this has already been discussed here, my apologies. I try to pay attention, but, well, you know what all udev threads are like. ;)
