From reading the literature http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pax-quickstart.xml It seams like PIC will be built into code if i use the hardened profile. Is this correct or should i still include USE="pic" in my make.conf? Thanks.

The pic USE-flag is used per default in the hardened profile.

For my hardened server, less /etc/make.profile/make.defaults shows:
Code:
ARCH="x86"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="${ARCH}"
GRP_STAGE23_USE="${ARCH} berkdb crypt readline nls ssl tcpd zlib pam pic hardened dlloader"
USE="${ARCH} berkdb crypt dlloader hardened nls pam pic readline ssl tcpd zlib"
PORTDIR=/usr/portage/
PKGDIR=${PORTDIR}/packages/${ARCH}/

So pic is set by default. I do have pic in my make.conf as well, but that's how I like to have it set.

Thanks for the clarification, c4!
