Yes there is an ebuild (1.99), it's just masked (hard-masked and ~x86 masked). It is functional in the basics, but all of the available plugins have not been updated to work with this version (and those that are have also been masked). The GTK and GTK2 versions can apparently be installed side-by-side (at least, the first time I recently installed the GTK2 version, the GTK version installed as well, but I don't think it was as a dependency since I was later able to install just the GTK2 version by itself), but it looks like one overwrites the other (afaik, the binary names are the same), so I wouldn't suggest installing both of them. At this time, the GTK2 version is not useful to me without either a plugin that is not yet available, or changing my mail system from POP3 to IMAP, and I hate GTK1 (it's just too ugly for me and I try to keep it to the bare minimum), so that's all I know-- I have Sylpheed-Claws GTK2 installed, but haven't used it.
