Well, on my system, that file does belong to libxfce4util:

jmoe@aus8617 ~ $ equery belongs /usr/lib/libxfce4util.la
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/libxfce4util.la in *... ]
xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.6.2 (/usr/lib/libxfce4util.la)

What does the screen say when it gets to the install phase of emerge? 
Any errors there, especially with that file?
