bug 154011 is alive and well on my system. This is using the selinux profile as on the documentation. emerge info..

I've discovered that it installs ok if I boot a normal kernel.
Yes, it seems to be a documentation error. emerge selinux-base-policy before rebooting into the hardened kernel.
An additional note... I did not have a "non" selinux kernel left in /boot. On a whim, I unmounted /selinux and selinux-base-policy successfully emerged then. This is much easier than a reboot. I'm glad it worked. Otherwise I'd have to rebuild a non selinux kernel or boot from the install cd again.
