I've had a ton of problems with the avifile ebuild, but the newest
version (0.7.37.20030522) finally installed on my machine after various
versions (including the one you're trying to install) failed.  You might
want to try 

#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge avifile

(Assuming you're using an x86 processor)
and see if the newer version compiles.  If it does then try emerge gnome
again, it should pick up where you left off.  The only thing I'd be
careful about is it might try to downgrade the version of avifile when
you run emerge gnome.  Check this with emerge -p gnome.  If this is the
case, I'm not sure how to circumvent it.  Anybody else have ideas?

Also, if you're already running "~x86", then just emerge sync and try
again. 

Hope that helps,
Brian
