        # man-pages installs renice(1p) but util-linux does renice(8)
        dosym ../man8/renice.8 /usr/share/man/man1/renice.1

Two lines should read:
        dosym ../man8/agetty.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/getty.1
        dosym ../man8/renice.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/renice.1

Not really... The relative symlinks are just fine and portage takes care of the compression.

# readlink /usr/share/man/man1/renice.1.bz2
../man8/renice.8.bz2
# readlink /usr/share/man/man1/getty.1.bz2
../man8/agetty.8.bz2

Portage compresses the actual file, but the link points to an uncompressed file (that doesn't exist).

# ls -al man1/renice.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-05-14 10:11:35 man1/renice.1 -> ../man8/renice.8 (flashing red)

# ls -al man8/renice.8.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2038 2007-05-14 10:11:32 man8/renice.8.bz2

# readlink man1/renice.1
../man8/renice.8 (doesn't exist)

# man 1 renice
No entry for renice in section 1 of the manual

Upgrade your portage, works just fine here.
