This is because it's now in the new category 'gnome-extra'. You have to
update your portage to find this category. Just merge
sys-apps/portage/portage-1.6.9.1.ebuild (and if you already have it
remerge it after an update). There was a spelling error in the first
1.6.9.1 release.

Also look that gnome-libs and gdk-pixbuf wasn't installed in /opt/gnome
and that gtk+ was installed in /usr and not in /usr/X11R6. If that is
the case you have an old portage-tree and you should update it and
remerge gtk+, gdk-pixbuf, imlib, gnome-libs and everything else
depending on gtk+.

Also I recommend you to update to glib-1.2.10-r1, I changed the
behaviour of this package to always build with --enable-debug which is
what other distributions do and it makes checks on arguments to
functions. Previous Gnumeric segfaulted if you hadn't built glib with
this, perhaps it's the same with Pan.
