Installing wmaker requires libXft > 2.1.0, but this is not listed as a dependency in the ebuild (at least as of 8-July-2006) , causing the compliation to error out. Workaround is simply to manually emerge libXft first, then install windowmaker, and everything continues normally.
Turned out to be a seriously borked install of many different components. More complicated than I thought, but all user error. Sorry.
