I am having exactly the same issue, server with module-less kernel, USE=-kmod set, but portage still wants to pull in virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod (and I have nothing "depending" on either of those two). |

At the moment I am looking into mdev instead of udev for these servers. |

If you open a bug please post the bug# here. |
