Nope. you should install wxGTK and use the wxWindows plugin of VLC. 
that works under GNOME, GTK, KDE, Python if you want :)

You are using vlc-0.6.0
Better use vlc-0.6.2

USE="~x86" emerge wxGTK /usr/portage/media-video/vlc/vlc-0.6.2.ebuild

Also be sure to take a look at the USE variables the ebuild listens to 
first. many componenets of VLC depend on other components and if you 
don't specify the correct USE variables, you will miss a lot of 
functionality.
