Yes I am, but what is the problem with that?

No, if you want the desktop profile you have to specify this explicitly
by using /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop for
example as symlink.
Only relevant are the files in the directory of the chosen profile and
not the subdirectories. The "parent" file points to the relevant files
that create the profile.
cat ${PORTDIR}/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/parent
..
../../../../releases/2008.0
cat ${PORTDIR}/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop/parent
..
../../../../../targets/desktop
cat ${PORTDIR}/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/server/parent
..
../../../../../targets/server
As you can see profiles go always up in the directory structure and not
down. So if you choose 2008.0. Server, developer and desktop profiles
are omitted.
