   It don't say you don't have it installed, it says that you don't have it   
   compiled with an USE flag that is required by a package depending on it.

   There is no IUSE variable to use in mkae.conf, IUSE is used in the ebuild   
   files, telling which options are available for the ebuild in question.

   consolekit 0.2 don't have support for policykit, so you have two options,   
   disable the policykit for hal or build consolekit 0.3 with policykit.
