ebuild depends on the which command (which is a part of another program). Just a missing DEPEND, should be easy to fix (install the package that contains which as a workaround until ebuild is patched).
syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1.ebuild is in CVS with a work-around for the which dep. The configure script takes a --with-libol option but it has a bug in that it looks for make_class in a utils/ subdirectory. I emailed upstream about that and the head -1 issue. Thanks for the bug report.
