Then I am kind of out of ideas. You mentioned that you remerged gnupg:
was there any warnings or logs at the end of the merge? (If you have
it enabled, the logs maybe stored in /var/log/portage/elog/)

You say that smime and openpgp fails, do you have the error message?
It may help other people who know more about this to answer your
question.

Cheers,
