Good to see you fixed the problem. Just in case you want to upgrade to the 
latest version, I have attached a tar file of my ebuild for leafnode 
2.0.0_alpha20090908 which I have been running for some time with no problems 
on an ~amd64 system.

Just un-tar it under /usr/local/portage/net-nntp  (or wherever you have your 
local portage tree).
