/usr/bin/js78 installed by spidermonkey has pie enabled on its own:

checksec --file=/usr/bin/js78
RELRO           STACK CANARY      NX            PIE             RPATH      RUNPATH      Symbols         FORTIFY Fortified       Fortifiable     FILE
Partial_RELRO   No canary found   NX enabled    PIE_enabled     No RPATH   No RUNPATH   No Symbols        Yes   10              26              /usr/bin/js78


checksec utility comes from app-admin/checksec

I don't think we are going to expose "--enable-pie". EXTRA_CONF is your friend.
