Please recompile with debug in your USE. USE="debug" emerge gaim And attempt to run it again and post your new backtrace.
More than likely you have some third-party plugins that either need to be recompiled, updated, or removed.
Although now that I look it could be that you are using an unstable version of evolution that we don't even support in portage. If that is the case then do USE="-evo" to build gaim.
Sorry, I had forgotten about this but. This no longer occurs for me in the CVS version of Gaim.
ooooook then. 0.82 should be released tonight.
