I don't recall that xsane plugin is supported on the gimp unstable, I need some time to try myself.

Please consider that the package issue you are reporting is with a masked ebuild and maybe won't fix anytime soon.

Please consider using xsane standalone or with gimp-1.2

There is no gimp-1.3 support for xsane yet.
changed the xsane ebuild a bit.
