Can I see the complete output from the attempted merge please? It kind of looks like you have the games eclass variables unset.
Created attachment 68536 [details] bsd-games-2.17 emerge log
Yep. What kind of odd setup do you have where you're not getting GAMES_BINDIR set? Have you messed with the games eclass? Do you have any GAMES variables in make.conf?
oh. "Portage 1.589-cvs" Not a games bug. Reassigning.
