Just finished a successful install up to and including gnome.
At the end of this install, emerge --info produced an output 
that included the "not present" items from your initial 
emerge --info.(Items that you manually emerged such as glibc).

I used LiveCD 2006.1. At the boot option I used the default.
When it loaded a Gnome desktop I chose the 
Gentoo Linux Installer (GTK+). Then:
1.type: standard
2.network:default  --  misc: default
3.partitioning: selected a disk, clear partions, click recommended layout 
4.network mounts: default
5.stage: stage3, grp install, dynamic
6.portage tree: default
7.make.conf: default
8.kernel: livecd kernel
9.bootloader: grub, install in mbr, select a drive
   extra kernel parameters-
10.time zone: pick one
11.networking: interface: eth0, configuration: dhcp
     hostname etc: -as needed 
12.daemons: default
13.extra packages: gnome and as desired; be generous
14.Startup servicse: as desired; be generous
15.other settings: {display manager:gdm, clock: local (cause i
 dual boot windows),  Xsession: Gnome (cause I like it),
 others: default}
16.users: as desired, ensure you do root password
17.review: install

This should give you a working install including gnome.
