There is a examples use flag to control the installation of examples.

pena ~ # grep examples /usr/portage/profiles/use.*
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc:examples - Install example source code

I'll do this for the next version

It is fixed in subversion-1.5_pre26086 in Eaedificāta Repository.
http://www.ffta.host.sk/Eaedificata/index.html

Installation of examples is controlled by "extras" USE flag. If you have
important reasons, "extras" USE flag could be split into "extras" and
"examples".

fixed in 1.4.4-r4 using USE=extras, see #84887
