Since version 3.8.0 darktable has a new input system, which is capable to operate with midi-devices and gamepads. Hence the optional packages media-libs/portmidi and SDL2 (here I am unsure which is the proper one from within gentoo's repo) are listed in https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/darktable-3.8.x/README.md I assume, new USE-flags and related dependency-links are necessary Background about this can be found here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/darktable-3.8.x/RELEASE_NOTES.md
