If you installed gnome, they both will get pulled in as they're an
official part of gnome as distributed by upstream. You may look into
package.provided (see the portage man page) to provide a "fake" version
if you really don't want them installed, but you're responsible for
anything that depends on them and breaks.

Thanks,
