Try to change name of directory in Your home - .gaim to someelse. Next 
try to start pidgin. If it fails, then run emerge --sync && emerge 
pidgin -va (set flags for things you need) and next try to run again. If 
renaming of .gaim catalog help's then this is incompatibility of 
configure files or some archives. Try to experiment. IF somethings 
happend, wrote here.
