This is odd because epydoc-3.0.1 successfully generates the docs here. If you add --debug to the epydoc arguments in the ebuild then it will produce a more useful error message. Of course, you'll have to regenerate the ebuild digest after you edit the ebuild by running: ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.1.4.1.ebuild digest The traceback may be useful to the epydoc developers if it's a bug that they don't know about yet.

After further investigations it seems that the file with invalid utf-8 character is /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/pysqlite2/dbapi2.py from dev-python/pysqlite-2.4.1 package. epydoc is fixed upstream for ignoring invalid characters: quoting edloper in bug #1893942 on sourceforge: "Fixed in svn revision 1718. (i.e., if your source file lies about the encoding that it uses, epydoc will no longer crash; instead, it will complain and do the best it can do. In the case of generating colorized source code, it will use the 'ignore' option when decoding, i.e., any characters that don't make sense in the declared encoding will be ignored.)"
not portage

As a workaround for the epydoc failure when building docs for sys-apps/portage, you can enable USE=sqlite on dev-lang/python.
It seems to be fixed in dev-python/pysqlite-2.5.5.
