This bug of x11-themes/gtk-engines has been fixed. http://bugs.gentoo.org/175056 But many other gtk engines still have the problems. Such as qtcurve, Aurora. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install gtk-engines-aurora. 2.apply this theme. 3.run acroread Actual Results: (acroread:2901): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qtcurve", acroread is ugly.

I made a mistake. Just change the Step 1 to 1.install gtk-engines-qtcurve.
As was mentioned in bug 175056, portage does not install 32 bit versions of every gtk theme. This really doesn't have anything to do with a bug being fixed. You can request the creation of additional emul-linux-x86-* packages, or you can create them yourself if you feel up to the task.
I don't plan to include every available gtk-engines-* theme to emul packages, this would need to rely on native multilib support instead (bug 145737)
