I had the same problem a few days ago. Looking at the ebuild and the USE flags, I decided that the ebuild needed to be given (at least) one USE flag which would select an output driver. From memory (I'm at work now) I added USE X but there was also ncurses. hth, George.
Yep, my USE flags were all messed up on this box for some reason. I've added a lot more USE flags now, and it emerged properly, so I think I can safely close this. :)
