Analogously to bug 478050 there is a gdk-pixbuf loader supporting webp. It allows webp support in many GKT applications like media-gfx/geeqie or media-gfx/mcomix. The code is located at https://github.com/aruiz/webp-pixbuf-loader I built it without problems and it works as expected (at least with geeqie and mcomix). It should probably be pulled in by a USE flag in x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf.
I just created an ebuild for this package and submitted a pull request for it to gentoos github: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/2076
