Sorry I didn't tune into this thread earlier...
Most ncurses-based tools, including most menuconfig scripts, need to be
attached to an interactive terminal in order to function properly. Some,
and you mentioned vim as an example, include code to find a terminal.
Some don't. Since emerge wraps everything for logging purposes, when you
run menuconfig, it's attached to a pipe. What you'll probably need to do
is something like
make menuconfig 0</dev/tty 1>/dev/tty || die "wombats!"
which should attach dialog to your controlling terminal.
