I'm failing to see the problem here as you don't really point out what the problem is. If you want to have the man pages, then you need to compile the package with 'doc' in you USE flags. It will then install xsltproc and doxygen for you. If the problem is something else please say so :)
You are right, after USE=doc I got no error. I was irretated by the special output because checking for the existance of a program could be - IMHO - result only in a "no" instead of "program not found" which I misinterpreted as a configure error.
