Did you read this:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179765

It seems the posters there had errors similar to yours, and the problem
is apparently related to missing/unavailable external backends or
something like that...one solution *seems* to use SANE_BACKENDS="" in
make.conf, IIUC.

Hope this helps (I have never installed a scanner in Gentoo :-)).
