Previously, the mythtv ebuild required libvpx < 1.5.0 With mythtv 0.28 this is no longer the case and it can be built against 1.5.0, which is the current latest stable version in gentoo. The dependency in the 0.28 ebuild could be changed from <media-libs/libvpx-1.5.0 to <media-libs/libvpx-1.6.0. I have not tested it with libvpx-1.6.0
Confirmed, I've been running mythtv-0.25 with libvpx-1.5 for a couple of weeks with no issues.

Please update the mythtv-0.28 ebuild to require <libvpx-1.6.0. mythtv-0.28 is anyway still masked but after any emerge --sync one has to manually patch the mythtv-0.28 ebuild (or make a local repo with a modified version of that ebuild, but that will miss changes) to prevent update breaks for other packages. Personally, I'm running mythtv-0.28 with libvpx-1.5.0 without any problems since a few days. My typical use cases are watching live tv and tv recordings (both DVB-S and DVB-S2) via mythfrontend or via kodi with the mythtv pvr plugin.

This is only used by the built-in web UI on the backend (not mythweb). So it is safe to disable on any frontend-only machines and backend also, of you don't use the web UI for streaming.
Thanks, fixed in git. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=f39d495e73eb0d543d8d0981fe5e173f50b68838
