Your log says during ./configure:

"checking µTP... no"

It should always say "yes". You have g++, the C++ compiler installed, right? As in, sys-devel/gcc built with USE="cxx" *enabled*

Please attach the config.log from the src_configure() econf phase here, from the /var/tmp/portage/net-p2p/transmission/... directory

log provided, transmission is C code, not C++

nope, transmission-2.52/third-party/libutp is C++

assuming broken system without C++ compiler installed based on previous bug reports -> closing
Comment 7 Sylvain BERTRAND 2012-07-06 09:03:38 UTC 
wrong: systems without C++ are not broken, they are C++ free systems.
Transmission code is C, third-party µtp code is C++.
Then, there is a bug in the enable/disable µtp code on C++ free systems.
Then, this bug report is valid.

libutp is not optional. the package won't build without using internal or external copy of libutp.

so unless you have a patch to provide for upstream, which will make the libutp optional, there is nothing to do here. plus, this should be reported to transmission's trac once the patch is done.
Comment 9 Sylvain BERTRAND 2012-07-06 09:19:19 UTC 
transmission 2.51 works fine on C++ free systems
If it's a bug to be fixed upstream, leave this bug opened till it is fixed upstream, thx.
Fine, I'll do the report to upstream since you do not want to do it.
I let you know when I have a feedback.
Comment 10 Sylvain BERTRAND 2012-07-06 15:32:44 UTC 
upstream ticket opened and validated
Comment 11 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-25 09:04:33 UTC 
Following upstream and will not accept patches as per:
