It seems that the developers of Liferea don't support x86_64 see this bugreport, so then there is little that Gentoo-developers can do on this.

Keep in mind that the different browser-use flags just toggle on/off options provided by the upstream code. In this case the program itself uses components/code from firefox or gtkhtml to actually display the news-items. That's also the reason that you need to have a source-compiled browser as the source-code of the browser itself is needed to generate these parts of the Liferea program.

Note that most developers don't follow the forums. If you want to get their attention, bugzilla is the best option.

ps) Your other request can be found in bugzilla. The ebuild for rssowl is located in this bugreport. Save it into a local overlay and you can emerge it.

Did you try the xulrunner USE flag? It shouldn't pull in Firefox or Seamonkey.
