I have tried this several times now and I am still getting the
same error... I edited...

/var/tmp/portage/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.8/work/alsa-driver-1.0.8/alsa-kernel/usb/Kconfig

and absolutely have only "depends on SND && USB" and then I do...

        aclocal
        autoconf
        ./configure --with-cards=usb-usx2y
...
checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Unsupported soundcard usb-usx2y

I've tried "usbusx2y" and just usx2y and usb_usx2y etc.

Any more clues for the clueless ?
