With dev-python/bsddb3-5.0.0 and dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r2[-berkdb] gramps still
needs patching:

$ gramps 
382: ERROR: gramps.py: line 138: Unhandled exception

ImportError: No module named bsddb

With dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r2[berkdb] it works fine, but it is not solution:
 * "bsddb" module is out-of-date and no longer maintained inside dev-lang/python. It has
 * been additionally removed in Python 3. You should use external, still maintained "bsddb3"
 * module provided by dev-python/bsddb3 which supports both Python 2 and Python 3.

I added intltool, thank you for the notice.

Upstream promised me to fix this problem with the 3.2 series...actually they did not and it always worked for me.  Patch is in for 3.2.3-r1

Changes in src/GrampsAboutDialog.py and src/GrampsLogger/_ErrorReportAssistant.py are incomplete. These files still use bsddb.__version__.

Thanks for pointing out.
