Description Daniel M. Weeks 2018-11-19 18:41:46 UTC 
It appears the current stable version of inkscape fails to build due to an incomplete resolution of bug # 655130:

checking for freetype-config... no
configure: error: Cannot find freetype-config

Reproducible: Always

What version of media-libs/freetype do you have installed? Where's your "emerge --info" output?
Comment 2 Andrew 2018-11-26 08:25:22 UTC 
I have exactly the same problem. The version of the package freetype - 2.9.1-r4. The problem was solved by rolling back to version 2.9

You could simply stop mixing stable inkscape package with unstable freetype package.

stable =media-libs/freetype-2.9.1-r3 works perfectly fine with stable inkscape and the only difference to =media-libs/freetype-2.9.1-r4 is that -r3 still ships the deprecated "freetype-config" script.
