I think no one in the Gentoo  development team is familiar with the NCBI C++ toolkit, so nobody has had any  particular interest in adding it to Portage. We already have lots of new  package requests that we try to work on from time to time, but most of our  time is spent updating existing packages or fixing bugs. Just to know... how many people are involved as *active* developers in gentoo-science? I wrote some ebuilds and I submitted them on bugzilla. I wonder if it would be the case to join gentoo-science... You can help by filing an enhancement request on the Gentoo Bugzilla  (bugzilla.gentoo.org). It will be assigned to the sci-biology project and  maybe, eventually, we will have the time to work on it. If you can write an  ebuild for the package yourself, that would speed up the process  tremendously. At time of writing I'm testing a ncbi-c++ compilation on my system, if everything goes fine I'll write down an ebuild to submit.
