You can check with
# USE="-nls" emerge -av glibc
so that portage prints out what it would do. If it accepts the use flag, 
the output should look like

Use flags in parentheses are overrided by the system profile. The 
asterisk behind "-nls" shows the difference to the currently installed 
version. My profile is "default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop".

If NLS still would be compiled in, try
# eselect profile list
and chose "hardened/linux/x86" (or whatever architecture is 
appropriate). Not 100% sure if that helps, but on when I tried this on 
my virtual box a few days ago, NLS was disabled globally. Disabling it 
for only the glibc could get you into serious trouble, I guess. 
Sometimes Gentoo is a little bit goatish ;-)

Good luck!
