It's telling you that you must enable USE=gtk for libcanberra for that build 
to succeed. The chain of packages listed won't solve the problem, they are 
causing it.

Easiest is to list gtk in USE in make.conf, then everything that uses gtk will 
link against it. If you are worried about Gnome, this wil not cause gnome to 
be installed, just gtk+
