 according to revdep-rebuild, quite a few libraries on my system are broken. But at the end of revdep-rebuild, it tells me, my system was consistent.This means the broken libraries don't belong to any package. Something touched/altered them (probably fix libtool script when updating gcc) so they had different mtime/md5sum than what was recorded in the package db. Such altered files are not unmerged. It's quite safe to delete them. I suppose you updated kde 
3.4 to 3.5 and unmerged the old 3.4... as the kde configuration howto says, you can remove whole /usr/kde/3.4 dir (but look into there first and use common sense :) For that avifile stuff, I have no idea which package it came from, but probably you can remove it too (or is it something installed not from portage?) 
 I think some libraries are really broken, because the sound of my vlc player stutters sometimes lately.I don't suppose it could have this effect. Broken linking usually means stuff won't run at all :)

I am a Gnome-User ;-).
I will delete them now. I have only Netbeans installed, that ist not in
portage, and that ist installed by a user in the home directory.
So i think i can delete that.
