Same problem here. "checking for Perl5 header files..." that thing hangs and takes lots of cpu and disk activity. After a while it locked up X. After a while more (a minute or two maybe, still heavy activity during the lock-up) X resumed to work and the emerge failed the same way it did for the other person.
see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60621 (or at least remove the perl flag) the syncworked for me.
resyncing today has fixed the problem. I guess it's resolved. Thanks! My only observation/complaint is that it looks like the version number didn't rev. Not sure if that was intended. Seems like it should hav gone -r1 or something. thanks!
