This means the broken libraries don't belong to any package. Something touched/altered them (probably fix libtool script when updating gcc) so they had different mtime/md5sum than what was recorded in the package db. Such altered files are not unmerged. It's quite safe to delete them. I suppose you updated kde
3.4 to 3.5 and unmerged the old 3.4... as the kde configuration howto says, you can remove whole /usr/kde/3.4 dir (but look into there first and use common sense :) For that avifile stuff, I have no idea which package it came from, but probably you can remove it too (or is it something installed not from portage?)

I don't suppose it could have this effect. Broken linking usually means stuff won't run at all :)
