Before anything I'd like to say that I'm running an unstable system: 2006.0 + gcc 4.0.2 + xorg modular on an amd64. Transfig ebuild is failing at ranlib, it is also filtering my CFLAGS: gcc -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing -I.. -I../.. -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__amd64__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DUSE_PNG -DUSE_XPM -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -DNFSS -DLATEX2E_GRAPHICS -DDVIPS -DI18N -DFIG2DEV_LIBDIR=\"/usr/lib64/fig2dev\" -DBITMAPDIR=\"/usr/lib64/xfig/bitmaps\" -c -o readxpm.o readxpm.c readpng.c: In function 'read_png': readpng.c:177: warning: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness rm -f libtransfig.a ar clq libtransfig.a genbox.o gencgm.o genepic.o genibmgl.o genlatex.o genmap.o genmf.o genpic.o genpictex.o genps.o genpdf.o genpstex.o gentextyl.o gentk.o genptk.o gentpic.o genbitmaps.o genge.o genmp.o genemf.o gensvg.o genshape.o setfigfont.o psencode.o readpics.o readeps.o readgif.o readpcx.o readppm.o readxbm.o readtif.o readjpg.o asc85ec.o readpng.o readxpm.o ranlib libtransfig.a make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/transfig-3.2.4-r2/work/transfig.3.2.4/fig2dev/dev' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/transfig-3.2.4-r2/work/transfig.3.2.4/fig2dev' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

There are no errors in the output you've posted...
Ed-209 figured the problem on irc: Transfig needs rman to be built. I think it might have been provided by monolith xorg, and it is now a module on xorg.conf. Since Modular xorg is not stable it I don't know if it is possible to fix it but transfig ebuild should depend on imake and rman.
