Nothing to my knowledge, no. It's that word "independant" that would appear to be the problem. You know that a doc USE flag for a webserver and for a python are completely unrelated, but portage doesn't, so stops after the first failure. Continuing would be pointless as so often flags are not independant, they are very much interdependant. I would also wager that any output from portage if it did continue would be vastly more confusing to users than what it does now. The reason you know so much more than portage about these dependencies is that you have a brain and comprehend meaning.
