Of my 4 machines 3 amd64 and 1 x86, this happens on only the best of my amd64 machines, and intel quad core q6600 machine. The rest are just fine. It happens even after tvmet was bumped up in version once. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge tvmet Actual Results: Generating file member index... Generating page index...

Wild guess -- but could you following tex migration guide to see if it fails with texlive as well? You should get rid of tetex sooner or later anyways.
I dont have it installed: $ equery list tetex [ Searching for package 'tetex' in all categories among: ] * installed packages I don't think it's tex that is at fault, even if I dont generate the docs, the ebuild still fails.
You're saying the same error appears if you use USE=-doc on tvmet? If so, please attach full build log and output of pdftex -v.
USE="-doc" emerge tvmet now works, but with doc it still fails, here's the version info: $ pdftex -v pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.9-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.7) kpathsea version 3.5.7 Copyright 2008 Peter Breitenlohner (eTeX)/Han The Thanh (pdfTeX).

Can't reproduce (anymore). Since -r1 the ebuild doesn't build the LaTeX/PDF docs anymore, only the HTML. Please reopen if you still can reproduce the problem.
