It's possible to add license groups via an overlay, which means that you
can set PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${MY_OVERLAY}" in /etc/make.conf, and then
define your license groups in ${MY_OVERLAY}/profiles/license_groups.
You can go ahead and file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org if you'd like to have
support added for /etc/portage/license_groups.
