/etc/init.d/rngd and /etc/conf.d/rngd both refer to and may use the no-tpm and no-drng options. In version 6 of rngd, those 2 options are no longer available. Thus setting NO_TPM=1 or NO_DRNG=1 in /etc/conf.d/rngd will cause /etc/init.d/rngd to fail to start.
I've hit the same issue with sys-apps/rng-tools-6.1 (the most recent version currently in the Portage tree).

Instead, it allows the inclusion and exclusion of a particular entropy source using the command line options '-n' and 'x' respectively. Maintain backwards compatibility by translating the NP_TPM and NO_DRNG options in the conf file to exclusion options.
