It's in the tree here but all versions are masked. root@fireball / # equery list -p sys-auth/consolekit * Searching for consolekit in sys-auth ...

If I recall correctly, consolekit is going to be removed and I think go away completely, which would explain them all being masked. If that is correct, you will have to switch to elogind or use systemd, unless you have some other means of providing what that package does. If you run the command above and it isn't listed, then it has been removed from the tree already. There was discussion about this on -dev. I made the switch to elogind early on and it was easy enough. I think the news item links to a guide. The only thing I did different, I put elogind in the default runlevel instead of boot. I rarely reboot here. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
