The old poppler ebuilds (dev-libs/poppler*) were reunited and became app-text/poppler awhile back. The old poppler ebuilds should not be referenced anywhere, but apparently they still are on your system somewhere. Try remerging app-text/poppler manually (using --oneshot, so it isn't added to world), then running revdep-rebuild again. Make sure you have run emerge --sync recently, so that the portage cache is up to date and any global updates have been applied. You could also try removing the revdep-rebuild cache files in /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/, but according to the output you included, the package atoms are not coming from the cache.
