The problem is that you are simply doing a "make install", which is incorrect.
You'll notice that all of our ebuilds on CVS that use "make install" use a
special technique to make sure that the files end up at the ${D} root, which is
a temporary directory that contains an image of all the files to be installed
at /.  Your ebuild needs to do this too; you should study the install: portion
of the doxygen Makefile to see if overriding "prefix" or "DESTDIR" will do the
trick.  Then, Portage will be making the modifications to the root filesystem,
rather than your "make install", and will thus record md5sums on everything
that it installs.
