Look in the attic [*] for old ebuilds. Looks like 6.4.7.0 is not
available, so maybe you will download 6.4.8.3 which is the nearest
version. Put the ebuild into your overlay, create a manifest (like ebuild
/usr/local/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-6.4.8.3.ebuild
manifest), and try to emerge =media-gfx/imagemagick-6.4.8.3. This might
work, but maybe there is other software you have installed that needs a
newer version - then it would not work so easily.
Why do you need it anyway? You could also just fetch the tarball from
imagemagick.org, build it in a local directory, and install to
/usr/local/.
