Perhaps this needs to be added as a dependency in the vte ebuild?
Did you have pygtk when the problem occurred? vte's ebuild does have pygtk as a dependency, but only when the 'python' USE flag is active. What was certainly wrong is that it wasn't passing the corresponding flag to the 'configure' script. I've modified the ebuild to fix this. Please try unmerging pygtk (if you didn't have it when you opened this report), and emerging vte again.
OK, I unmerged pygtk and vte. Re-emerged vte and it installed fine without pygtk. I added the 'python' USE flag and re-emerged vte which caused the compilation of pygtk as a dependency. Looks like it's fixed then :-)
