Ok, I fixed the spelling, but the error remains:

| /tmp/ng $ cat ng.conf 
| include common.conf;
| pid nginx.pid;
| /tmp/ng $ cat common.conf 
| # empty
| /tmp/ng $ /usr/sbin/nginx -c ng.conf

| /tmp/ng $ /usr/sbin/nginx -v         
| nginx version: nginx/0.7.7


The wiki documentation on
http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxMainModule#include says that "since
version 0.6.7, paths are relative to directory of nginx configuration
file nginx.conf, but not to nginx prefix directory."  -- so could it be
that nginx is broken on Gentoo?
