I think this is due to LINGUAS being unset. Of course it should not fail like that, and I have to look into this. For the time being you should be able to install it with LINGUAS="en_US" set.
My LINGUAS is set (although not to anything supported by smplayer) and I get the same error.

LINGUAS=en_US does the job here as well.
Rather than building with a temporary change to the LINGUAS variable, you can add the change to the "/etc/portage/package.use" file with the following line: =media-video/smplayer-0.6.4 linguas_en_US or if you want it to apply to all versions of smplayer: media-video/smplayer linguas_en_US This will make the package survive a subsequent "emerge -DuN world".
Fix committed. We now add en_US as a fallback in case no other translation is generated.
