I just spent a couple of weeks trying to get cheese to work.

It doesn't look like your problem, but cheese needs
gnome-video-effects and one of the effects uses the gstreamer frei0r
plugin, which has a run time dep on frei0r-plugins.

You also (probably) need libv4l2 and, if "xdg-user-dirs-update"
hasn't been run, cheese will try to save images in the root directory,
which prevents it from working.

I did get cheese working with an external camera, and it saved the file in the $HOME/Webcam directory. I didn't need to run xdg-user-dirs-update.

I'll install v4l-utils-1.0.1.tar.bz2 and see if that helps.  Do you know the
dependencies?  Is it just CMMI?

I don't recall that it has any deps outside of what is present in LFS.

Where is xdg-user-dirs-update found?

http://user-dirs.freedesktop.org/releases/xdg-user-dirs-0.15.tar.gz

See
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/cheese-list/2014-May/msg00003.html

Where can I find guvcview?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/guvcview/files/source/guvcview-src-1.7.3.tar.gz/download

No package 'portaudio-2.0' found
No package 'libavcodec' found
No package 'libavutil' found
No package 'libv4l2' found

I'll have to investigate those.
