It's going to snowball from there. You could try to keyword gobject-introspection, but it will probably need for you to keyword more packages, which in turn will require even more keyworded packages. It can be done automatically with the --autounmask emerge option, but if you are mixing stable and unstable packages, you need to know what you are doing. GNOME 3.8 is going stable soon (or so I keep hearing); when that happens, the parts of the stack that you need for the new gvfs will be stable. You could wait for it to happen.
