If that's the case, it's not a mythtv bug.

That's what I usually do instead of posting sarcastic comments. "use.mask" file implies that media-tv/mythtv for whatever reason depends on nvidia legacy drivers: ========== # nVidia XvMC requires nvidia-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers nvidia ========== Why is this dependency not defined in the same way through ebuilds as all other Gentoo packages do, but in such an obscure manner?
Look at the output of emerge -pv again. "VIDEO_CARDS="-i810 (-nvidia) -via" nvidia isn't even an option on your profile. However, you can run MythTV just fine without xvmc support. The ebuild is written correctly, it's just your profile that has the use flag masked.
