No thanks. We're not going to add deps and a hackish script to portage for your convenience.
This is the sort of thing that should be brought up with the upstream developers. We try to not change functionality of a package like this, and we definitely don't want to be maintaining our own little Gentoo "fork" of these packages. We'll gladly add the X USE flag if there's upstream support for an X-based fortune.
