gsview-4.6 depends on app-text/ghostscript-afpl, when instead it should depend
on virtual/ghostscript.

app-text/ghostscript-afpl-8.15 provides virtual/ghostscript.
app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r6 provides virtual/ghostscript.

So, gsview should work with either of the above installed, but currently
insists on app-text/ghostscript-afpl.

The alternative for now is to install gv instead of gsview.

This is wrong! See my bug 76805. GS 7.07 doesnt provide libgs.so AFAICT.
