I have also installed the Vera fonts .. (not through an ebuild) and
they seem to work fine with gimp.

This is what I did:

-copied the (ttf)files into ~/.fonts
-ran 'fc-cache'
-'emerge gimp-freetype'

When doing:

RightClick -> Filters -> Render -> Freetype...

, for the first time, I'm asked where my fonts are located... I
supplied ~/.fonts , and it worked.

You could try a 'fc-list' to list the fonts available .. If you see
the vera-fonts, and it still does not work, try to move ~/.gimp-1.2 to
~/.gimp-1.2.old, and restart gimp ..

FYI; it seems that my Vera-fonts are not available either, if I do not
specify the folder they are located in. You can specify it, by doing

RightClick -> Filters -> Render -> Freetype... -> configure
