The warning should just appear if the package is not installed:

t44 hardened-sources # diff -b hardened-sources-4.3.5.ebuild /usr/portage/sys-kernel/hardened-sources/hardened-sources-4.3.5.ebuild
38,40d37
<       local myconf=$"(use_hasversion $GRADM_COMPAT)"
<       elog myconf="$myconf"
<       if [[ -z "$myconf" ]]; then
49d45
<       fi

No, because you might have kernels of different version of grsecurity installed.  Eg. for a while there were kernels for grsec version 3.0 and 3.1.  You would need the corresponding gradm for rbac to work.

The warning is for cases like that, so no, it should not be removed.
