This is not a solution in itself, but you might try this.

Download the TexLive-2007 DVD [1]. This is a recent TeX distribution,
compared to the ancient TeTeX one. Check to see if it provides the
fonts you need. If it does, you might attempt to remove TeTeX by
following the correspondent removal guide [2], sync Portage, tweak the
USE flags so as to suit your needs and emerge =texlive-2007.

This week I have successfully switched from TeTeX to TeXLive,
following the guide mentioned earlier. TeXLive contains more recent
fonts (also, consider to check the CTAN for what it provides before
downloading the .iso image), like the cm-super (that I needed for the
bold small caps), and is probably more or less up to date and complete
if you enable the needed USE flags.
