I had a similar problem here.
emerge -C qt-4.3.3
emerge -auDNv1 qt
emerge -av vlc
emerge -auDNv world
Did the trick for me.
My vlc USE flags:
X a52 aac alsa cdda cddb cdio dbus dvd ffmpeg flac hal httpd libgcrypt
libnotify matroska mmx mp3 mpeg ncurses nsplugin ogg opengl png qt4
samba sdl sse stream svg theora truetype vcd vorbis win32codecs xml xv
As an additional benefit, since the update to the new qt4 libraries the
VLC UI buttons are not messed up any more. (bug 246116)
