This could also be a Kile error if it doesn't handle well the paths to your
images. Have you tried running latex in command line? Or with another edito=
r
such as texmaker (also in portage)?
If your problems persist, I also suggest you upgrade to tetex-3.0_p1 (which
is in ~x86 on gentoo) and try again (beamer and pgf are included in
tetex-3.0 so you will also need to unmerge the packages latex-beamer and
pgf).
If that still doesn't work, please file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org and
we'll try to solve it.

Thanks
