I'd try the merge world without setting USE="gnome" first, and then later enable it by putting gnome in your /etc/make.conf USE setting. If you want to be more clever about it/save some time, you can try to figure out the problematic packages and just temporarily disable gnome on them via /etc/portage/package.mask/, but that may not be much more efficient than the first option.
