Same error here, even though vala was already installed. /usr/bin/valac-0.10 exists, but configure looks for plain valac. I made a symlink and geany-plugins compiled OK.
*** Bug 436184 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I dropped this useflag from geany-plugins-1.22 because that ebuild had already been mostly marked stable and it is impossible for anyone to have successfully installed it with USE=multiterm. I add the flag back in in geany-plugins-1.22-r1.

I made a > symlink and geany-plugins compiled OK. Please remove the valac -> valac-0.10 symlink. vala.eclass is used by ebuilds which need to build with vala and sets environment variables correctly so that SLOTted versions of vala can be used. The symlink shouldn't be there and may get stale and cause problems for you in the future... and maybe in the present too ;-).
