Can't the users download and install those tables manually from the official ophcrack website/server? If so, maybe adding the instructions in the pkg_postinst() phase of app-crypt/ophcrack ebuild would be enough. In that case, it wouldn't make sense having app-crypt/ophcrack-tables in the portage tree and should be treecleaned.
