app-text/texlive installs /usr/bin/texdoctk, which depends on dev-perl/perl-tk. But perl-tk is not mentioned in the ebuild for texlive.

Created attachment 166957 [details, diff] RDEPEND perl-tk if USE=X Hi, attached a rather simplistic attempt to fix this annoying problem. Not sure how the build exactly works, but this requires perl-tk if we have USE=X. Since there is also the command line version texdoc this seems intuitively the a right way to do it. Also, people without X might be caught by other problems long before. Sorry if this obviously a wrong approach. Cheers, Benjamin
well... X useflag isn't good for tk stuff, I've added a tk useflag and since the build system sucks for this, I've had to remove the texdoctk files in src_install if tk is off. Fixed in texlive-core-2008 which I plan to unmask soon
