I agree this is definitely a problem.

I would file a bug for distcc and q3 (and privoxy?) at bugs.gentoo.org.  I
also run NIS, and I guess I've just been lucky enough not to install any
daemons with high UIDs.  After filing the bug(s), post a message to
gentoo-dev with the bug url(s), and a brief discussion of the problem.  

Good luck & keep us posted,
Owen
