The creation of the tcpdump user and the call to fowners are being executed in the wrong order, as can be seen here:

>>> Install tcpdump-3.9.8-r1 into
/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/tcpdump-3.9.8-r1/image/ category net-analyzer
chown: invalid user: `tcpdump:tcpdump'
>>> Completed installing tcpdump-3.9.8-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/tcpdump-3.9.8-r1/image/

ecompressdir: bzip2 -9 /usr/share/man
strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded -R .comment
   usr/sbin/tcpdump
* checking 13 files for package collisions
>>> Merging net-analyzer/tcpdump-3.9.8-r1 to /
 * Adding group 'tcpdump' to your system ...
 *  - Groupid: next available
 * Adding user 'tcpdump' to your system ...
...

This will result in the /var/lib/tcpdump directory to be owned by root.
