From krecipes-0.9.1.ebuild:

    pkg_setup() {
    »···if ! use sqlite && ! use mysql && ! use postgres; then
    »···»···eerror krecipes needs either SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL to work,
    »···»···eerror please try again with USE=\"sqlite\", USE=\"mysql\" or USE=\"postgres\".
    »···»···die
    »···fi
    }

This is a policy violation. See the paragraph starting with "Occasionally, ebuilds will have conflicting USE flags for functionality." in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 . If no USE flag is specified, you should pick one of the three and pretend it's on.

I've never used this tricky syntax before, but is this legal?:

DEPEND="sqlite? ( dev-db/sqlite )
      !mysql? ( !postgres? ( dev-db/sqlite ) ) )"

Yup. See gvim for a more complicated example.

gotcha.  ebuild should be fixed now, used sqlite as a default since it's the smallest and most lightweight.  

thanks for your QA work.
