I just saw a possible fix for this problem in the mailing lists...

You might try re-emerging libSDL to the latest version as there was a problem with it and opengl. It didn't matter whether you used the opengl in you make.conf or not.

Once that is reinstalled then try to re-emerge tuxracer and with luck it will start working.

On a side note... anyone using KDE and having a problem with arts and no sound in tuxracer can try the following to run tuxracer:
