I see… I’m sorry to hear that. The grsecurity-sources overlay seems to be tracking minipli’s unofficial port. So that’s what you already got as a recommendation, with the convenience of ebuilds to match.
It looks like the latest release from minipli’s is based off of Linux 4.9.74 (early January ; the last one before Spectre / Meltdown mitigations got merged into upstream kernels), with the latest upstream version today being 4.9.91. So minipli’s kernel is starting to be quite a bit behind upstream too. He did mention that it would take him a significant amount of time to forward port with KAISER / KPTI. So he might just be working on it, still. Minipli’s kernel might still be your best option after all, but I haven’t reviewed the patches that made it to upstream between 4.9.74 and 4.9.91 so I’m not sure what you’d be missing out on at the moment by choosing to go with it.
