Gandalf's beard was also said once to "stand out stiff like bristling wire" - he's probably got very thick hair - I'm not at all surprised his eyebrows stood out. He's also got excellent forehead muscles - all that brow-furrowing & worrying has built up quite a foundation for all that hair.

Or maybe they're extendable? I remember he "stuck out his bushy eyebrows" at Bilbo in anger - does Gandalf have retractable eyebrows?
