 Did you read this:

 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179765

 It seems the posters there had errors similar to yours, and the problem
 is apparently related to missing/unavailable external backends or
 something like that...one solution *seems* to use SANE_BACKENDS= in
 make.conf, IIUC.

On the other hand, here's a note I've left in my make.conf to remind myself:

# This is required not to be present for sane-backends  1.0.17:
#SANE_BACKENDS=epson

Hope this helps (I have never installed a scanner in Gentoo :-)).
