Avidemux can work with divx video and pcm or mp3 audio just fine (don't recall what else it can use). It has a very nice "smart copy" option that allows you to cut at non-key frames without re-encoding the entire file, by just encoding from the cut to the next keyframe. If you do want to recode, it has tons of nice video filters (good for cleaning up caps from TV, etc).

Code:
# USE="encode" emerge mplayer
# mencoder your_movie.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -endpos 01:00:00 -o part1.avi
# mencoder your_movie.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -ss 01:00:00 -o part2.avi

man mplayer for details... I think that it also works with MBs like -endpos 700MB but I don't remember the exact command now.
Better yet try ogmtools (google is your friend) to make ogm files (divx video & ogg audio) and use ogmsplit.

If you want to try avidemux (what I recommend) just check out bug #12905, it's the ebuild for the latest version.
Will be in the protage tree soon, I hope.
