Thanks for the suggestion, but the custom is that USE=doc is used for installing documentation when it takes a long time to build or needs extra downloading. Neither is the case here. With USE=doc on gtk+ you get the docs rebuilt, which takes time but has the benefit of getting the docs to cross-link (HTML hyperlinks) against other libraries functions (such as glib or pango) correctly.
If you don't want no gnome libraries API docs, you can considering adding /usr/share/gtk-doc into your INSTALL_MASK instead.
