when I emerge ntp it dragged in dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.21 to whick failed to compile.

You do not need 6.21 - 6.21 is there for much, much older perl support (5.8.5 isn't exactly old). However - I'm not seeing why ntp would be pulling it in, since there aren't any direct perl deps in ntp to begin with. Can you please give an emerge -pv of ntp and paste the output?
