Not reproducible, this bug is useless without the LastTest.log.

Looks like REQUIRED_USE="test? ( xpm )" then, right?
After some tinkering, I was able to reproduce this on amd64. I think it will fail to open the fontset depending on what locale is declared. For example, amd64 with LANG set to C.UTF8 will fail, but en_US.utf8 will pass. It seems, at the minimum, LC_CTYPE has to be configured to something other than C. Perhaps I should look into disabling this check?
Could you rather look/write a patch for it, or try to export it in the ebuild? Just do grep -r LC_CTYPE in our repository to see examples for both ways.
