If you already compiled everything with USE=-consolekit, just uninstall consolekit. Otherwise, first set -consolekit in your USE flags, emerge --newuse world, and then uninstall it. logind (included with systemd) provides all the functionality that consolekit provided, and more. They cannot be installed at the same time (hence the block). Be aware, if you had some packages with USE=consolekit (pambase and polkit in particular), you cannot use GDM nor GNOME after you uninstall it and until you install systemd and reboot with it. Strange things will happen if you do. Login via ssh and VT will work as usual.
