libmpeg3-1.5-r1 requires nasm to build properly but does not list it as a prerequisite. This can be worked around by simply emerging nasm first, for the time being.
are you using something other than x86 ? in the DEPEND there is 'x86? ( dev-lang/nasm )'
Nope. It is a Pentium III laptop. I just finished the install of 1.4 and was installing gnome and few other things and during the emerge it failed on this package because nasm wasn't installed. I did and emerge nasm and them continued and all worked fine. Maybe this is actually a bug in the portage dependency algorithm. I can send you my USE flags if you'd like when I am back in the office on Monday.
just run `emerge libmpeg3 -ep` and post the output here ...
"emerge libmpeg3 -ep" produces: (Which has no nasm in it) These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies...done!

what does `emerge -V` return ? and what is your USE var ?

update your portage ... the older versions used to not handle -* correctly ... it would remove the arch from the USE flag
That seems to have done it. Thanks.
np, glad it works for you now :)
