There it says:

   11 Jun 2008; Tiziano Müller <dev-zero@g.o>
   +mount-cifs-3.0.30.ebuild:
   Version bump (fixes bug #225509, patch included)

http://bugs.gentoo.org says about bug #225509:

   net-fs/mount-cifs-3.0.28 /w glibc-2.8 update: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared

That means you have to use mount-cifs-3.0.30.

Why I wrote all that down?  To point out that looking at the ChangeLog 
of an ebuild can give an answer without even asking ;)
