Peter since this bug is very well reproducible could you try to rebuild dev-texlive/texlive-latex with debugging symbols enabled[1] (basically add -ggdb into CFLAGS and splitdebug into FEATURES) and try to gather backtrace? Personally I failed to reproduce this problem on my systems. Reassigning anyway. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
I get this output: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xb7dc957c in GlobalParams::scanEncodingDirs () from /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.5 I decided to rebuild all poppler related packages...

However, the failure remains (using root the fault does not occur).
works fine here; gimme the output of 'ldd /usr/bin/pdflatex' as your user that triggers the segfault and as root also try emerge @preserved-rebuild and/or revdep-rebuild

'@preserved-rebuild' is not a valid package atom. (guess I am too much of a noob here.. ;-)
since my portage is not outdated: Portage 2.1.7.16 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.10.1-r1, 2.6.30-gentoo-r8 i686) I wonder why it does not understand @...
cleaned up package.keywords removed virtual/poppler-0.12.3-r1 virtual/poppler-qt4-0.12.3-r1 virtual/poppler-utils-0.12.3-r1 (don't have a clue why they were still on the system..(?)) revdep-rebuild showed some poppler-depended packages I is still compiling some of these packages but the pdflatex succeeds. [RESOLVED] for me...
@preserved-rebuild only exist in hardmasked portage. revdep-rebuild is a replacement in currently stable portage. Since this is issue with mixing arch and ~arch and in general we do not support such configurations I guess this is invalid issue.
For the record, I had the same problem in a ~x86 install. The thing that worked was to emerge the standalone pdftex (dev-tex/pdftex-1.40.10) which brought app-admin/eselect-pdftex-0.3. texlive-core-2009 refused to work even after reemerging poppler, revdep-rebuild and emerge @preserved-rebuild.

Problem is incompatibility in layout of GlobalParams class; poppler has #if MULTITHREADED GooMutex mutex; GooMutex unicodeMapCacheMutex; GooMutex cMapCacheMutex; #endif but these members are missing from the debug object in texlive-core. I guess this could be down to the poppler/xpdf fork; could texlive be picking up the GlobalParams.h from its bundled xpdf?
Works for me after re-emerging texlive-core.
worksforme then; if this happens again please try rebuilding texlive-core; it's possible poppler changed its abi without abi bump...
