In the event that you you have decided to keep your /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 
directories real, which I did after xorg 6.8.2 hosed my symlinks, doing this 
solved most of the problems:

1. emerge baselayout
2. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig

It seems that many (most?) apps use pkgconfig to get the location of their 
libraries these days, and I've only had to do minimal work sorting out /usr/lib 
and /usr/lib64. (I've currently got 2 libraries hand-symlinked from /usr/lib64 
-> /usr/lib, and system is compiling stuff fine -- fingers crossed! - eg kde 
split builds (both beta and rc), gimp, e17, inkscape, spamassasin, 
sylpheed-claws, gaim etc etc)
