I can open https://steamcommunity.com//mobilelogin/getrsakey?username=fakeName 
and get what looks like a key. Did the format change?

It's really weird, I'm on gentoo too, with the same overlay and it works fine. If it's of any help, this is what I have:

• Gentoo Linux 4.10.10
• dev-libs/nss-3.30.1 with only the "nss-pem" flag enabled
• app-misc/ca-certificates-20161130.3.30.1 (no additional flags enabled)
• x11-plugins/pidgin-encryption-3.1 (nls use flag enabled)
• net-im/pidgin-2.12.0 (dbus, gstreamer, gtk, idn, ncurses, perl, prediction, python, sasl, spell, tcl, tk, xscreensaver, zeroconf flags on)
• x11-plugins/pidgin-opensteamworks-1.6.1-r1 (polarssl use flag disabled)

I think I remember I enabled the encryption plugin and generated the key pair as requested. Then it started working.
