The issue appears to be that bbdb-pgp.el, which is not part of bbdb proper, but is included as a sort of contributed addition, requires mailcrypt, which is not listed as a dependency. I will change the ebuild to use the crypt USE flag to determine whether to include this.
Fixed in CVS.
Well it's not exactly fixed, i hope the status will change or something (my first try with bugzilla). Emerge app-emacs/bbdb failed since emacs wasn't able to ''load bbdb'' (the problem arrises only on a bbdbless system (i.e. if you'r installing bbdb the first time). i was able to fix it in the ebuild. i will attatch my patch
Created attachment 31326 [details, diff] fixes the problem witch emerging bbdb for the first time
