Yup, there was and must still be for some other things because the
changes after both the moves you suggested, running
emerge -vuDNp world was a few lines less output... but otherwise
pretty much the same. (posted at the end) 

cat /etc/portage/package.use/git
dev-vcs/git -gtk -webdav

I did look at doing that very thing before posting OP but I had a hard
time figuring out what to pick.

I went ahead and set [...]/defauilt/linux/x86/13.0/developer

Even though I am a very far cry from that lofty status.  Am I creating
more problems with that?  Does that setting also hark of X

There aren't that many that aren't desktop related or selenix or
hardened or something else like uclibc or musl.. that I don't know
anything about.

Maybe the very first choice would be better:
  [1]   default/linux/x86/13.0
  
Seems like that might expect X as well
I expected to find a choice of `server' but don't see that.


Even with the leg up you gave me, I'm still not real sure what the output
is telling me:

Like where it says something is required by an x11- pkg .. well those
are all unmerged.

Or the chunk at the bottom listing quite a few non-X pkgs but saying:

(dependency required by "net-misc/openssh-7.3_p1-r8::gentoo[pam]" [ebuild])

   What dependancy...... use use flag of X?

Also, I thought it might help to stick a use flag of `-gtk' in
make.conf. But when I did that just now as an experiment instead of
the output below I got a huge list of x11- pkgs to be installed.
Now changed back I get the output below.

-------       -------       ---=---       -------       ------- 
emerge -vuNDp

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
