That's not an undeclared dependency on XML-Parser.

That's intltool's problem.

Intltool uses XML-Parser, and gtkspell depends on intltool.

But portage sucks and isn't rebuilding XML-Parser after an upgrade.

So, sorry, you're like, the millionth person to hit bug #596664 

You probably need to run perl-cleaner.
