I should add that I foolishly unmerged the previous version and (after forgetting this) masked the new version in an attempt to let me update my system. Compiling the r7 version failed with the same error, so the problem is not specific to r8. 

Ive got around the problem by using the USE="-doc" flag when compiling net-snmp.
This is what caused my system to want ghostscript in the first place.

Ill leave the bug open because I still feel there is something funny going on here...

As I stated, this is no longer an issue for me. I simply emerged snmp with

old bug, please reopen if ghostscript still fails for you.
