Well, I used esue or something and my make.conf USE line now looks like 
this:

USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 acpi alsa aml apng automount avahi \
      bash-completion bzip2 cddb cdr chroot cleartype clucene corefonts 
cups \
      curl dbus declarative dri dvd dvdr embedded escreen esd exif \
      ffmpeg fortran gif gimp gkrellm gnutls gphoto2 gtk hbci hddtemp \
      ipv6 java javascript jbig jpeg2k justify kde libwww \
      logrotate loop-aes mdnsresponder-compat melt mmx mmxext mng mp3 \
      mplayer mysql nls nsplugin nvidia offensive ofx opengl parport pdf \
      policykit ppds ppp qt3support qt4 sasl seamonkey \
      semantic-desktop sift smp sse sse2 sse4a syslog tcl threads tiff tk \
      truetype type1 udev usb vcd webkit wma wmf yahoo zeroconf -acl \
      -bluetooth -branding -crypt -doc -dts -eds -fftw -gcj -gnome \
      -jabber -jingle -ldap -musepack -openldap -oss -otr -sqlite \
      -sqlite3 -theora -v41 -xulrunner"

So, I guess you put the \ on the end and indent the next line and it 
sees it as one line.

I might also add that mine was in alphabetical order BEFORE I used euse 
or whatever that was that did the chicken scratch up there.

Want to try it?
