Answering late to this post since nobody else has. AFAIK the DTD files
should never get downloaded. Instead they should've been installed
automatically by your favourite $PACKAGEMANGLER from a dependency of
that GNOME package. Then the local copy should be automatically used.

Try

emerge -1 app-text/docbook-xml-dtd:4.1.2

then retry whatever you were doing. This should re-install and
re-register the 4.1.2 DTDs. If it doesn't work then at least you
hopefully get new error messages pointing towards the real cause
behind the broken DTD catalog.

(You could also have a look into the files inside /etc/xml and
/etc/sgml, especially the file named catalog. I think I remember a
case where one person or his system had somehow cleared the local DTD
registry.)
