This error suggests that /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.4/image/etc/gtk-2.0/im-multipress.conf might be a directory, which might indicate some sort of filesystem corruption. Is it a directory or not? If it is a directory, does rebuilding x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.4 result in the same error?

There's probably dome sort of problem in the merging of the /etc/gtk-2.0/ directory. Does that directory exist on you system or not? The error seems to suggest that this directory failed to be created.

Yes, it needs to be a directory. Do you know how that file got there? You can solve the problem by removing it. Anyway, portage needs to detect cases like this and handle them more intelligently.
In svn r11920 it's fixed to move broken symlinks out of the way if necessary when merging directories.
This is fixed in 2.2_rc15.
