I have this same error for several (at least 4-6) weeks now, whenever I try to emerge rapidsvn. First version I noticed it was IMO release 0.7.0. I remerged wxGTK last at 10th of March as a part of a revdep-rebuild, but this error was definitely there before.

I use wxGTK-2.4.2-r2, using those USE flags:
[ Found these USE variables for x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r2 ]
 U I
 + + debug     : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too
 - - no_wxgtk1 : <unknown>
 + + gtk2      : Use gtk+-2.0.0 over gtk+-1.2 in cases where a program supports both.
 + + odbc      : Adds ODBC Support (Open DataBase Connectivity)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge rapidsvn
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Compilation breaks at the above target with an ambiguity error.

Expected Results:  
rapidsvn should have compiled and installed.
