You should sync your portage tree - the last change to games-misc/fortune-mod-dune was two weeks ago. That said, equery should probably print the error but not die because of it - the Manifest failure isn't vital to the hasuse query being performed.
What version of genttolkit is this happening for? I have tested this in the current gentoolkit development repo (revision 267) and it reports the failure but continues with the report as it should. If this is with the genttolkit-0.3.0_rc series, it will be fixed in the _rc10 release. for me it was gtkpod that failed, same equery hasuse -p nsplugin
Yes, that looks like an older version of gentoolkit; please use the newest available version when reporting bugs. Secondly, that error is printed out to the screen by Portage's aux_get, and there is no way to catch it or disable it, though that feature has been requested.
