ppp contains a gtk-useflag which builds a gtk1-interface. I doubt it's of much
use and it'll cause a system with gtk useflag to fetch in gtk1-deps.
I'd suggest to just remove that.
In fact, I've noticed it's a automagic dep.. even if you USE="-gtk" ppp, it
ends up linking against GTK+-1.2 if it's found in system. :(

Actually it is very useful for paranoid people who doesn't like storing their
PPP passwords in files. For those, pppd has a plugin called passprompt. When
gtk useflag is enabled, the /usr/sbin/pppgetpass looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec pppgetpass.vt "$@"
else
exec pppgetpass.gtk "$@"
fi
I would say this functionality is too neat to loose.

What program/library is liked against GTK-1? Did you checked with equery uses
ppp?

Installing the stuff back to give some output, until then ignore me.
Turns out it can use gtk2 just as well.
Fixed in ppp-2.4.4-r12. Right now this revision is pmasked, but I will unmask
it as soon as solution for bug 190143 is tested.
