indeed, there's no package in portage, but I'm working on updating all
CommonLisp packages. until the update is over, new ebuilds will probably
only be added to the lisp overlay[1]

asdf-install does not work with package names, you must only specify the
package name: (asdf-install:install :usocket)

SBCL bundles its own version of asdf-install, in order to load it, just
eval (require :asdf-install)

I've encountered this error too, I'll try to fix it as soon as possible

that has been tried, it's not so easy as it may seem - look for the
story of CCLAN

well, that might be nice
[1] to use the overlay, emerge dev-util/git(you need a version >=1.5),
then download it executing:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/gentoo-lisp-overlay.git
finally, add the full path of the downloaded directory to the variable
PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf
