A real gotcha in SharePoint 2010. Working on a system where the client didnt want to use the profile service on the first phase of the project. So the solution is aimed at being a Portal and nothing else which is fine as the client has made a reasonable case for not using this yet.
But by switching off the User Profile service you will also find that audiences disappear from that Web Application in the advanced web part properties. Logical really as audiences are part of the profile service.
A work around is to enable the profile service for the web app but restrict it to just one user (dummy or admin ideally) in the Manage User Permissions of the Profile Service. This can introduce other minor issues so test that it fits in with your configuration although for me this removes the profile service options to all users but still allows audiences to work.
