As I understand it, ebuilds should not consider kernel configs to be mandatory unless this is necessary for building the package itself. If there is a runtime dependency on a feature (in this case PPS, NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING and PTP_1588_CLOCK) these can be defined as advisory instead.
Proposed fix is in pull request commit: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/11566/commits/ed84fc343d098bab030167d0dd1e9ff722a30c7e
