You can either write your own ebuild to install the binary, which is pretty straightforward, or simply unpack it to /. As these are private, company packages, nothing else in the tree is going to depend on it, so you don't really need to install it via portage, although it does make tracking the package's dependencies easier. -- Neil Bothwick Make like a tree and leave.
