I could reproduce this.

Strangely, I was not seeing this.  On my system I had both versions of
libpng installed (by oversight) and that's why the ebuild worked for
me.  Looks like opera 6.0 is a mess as far as libpng dependency
goes...

I just tried the static version of opera, and it worked fine for me.
I think that I'm going to add an opera-static ebuild to portage.  It
will be useful (1) to people who don't want to have a copy of qt2 just
to run Opera, and (2) in cases like this.

Thanks for testing this,
