I think you must be loading site-gentoo from site-init.el?  That might cause
problems, I'll check the slime ebuilds to make sure they dont try loading 
site-init.el while compiling.

[Comment 2 Matthew Kennedy (RETIRED) 2005-12-11 11:23:03 UTC]

I checked the ebuilds and elisp-common.eclass.  Emacs is called with 
--no-site-init, --no-init-file.  Have you tried the 1.2.1.20050804 or 
1.2.1.20051211 app-emacs/slime?
