You should not install FPC manually, then only FPC 2.0.2 would be installed as a dependency of Lazarus.
There exists also inofficial ebuilds for newer version. I use a little bit modified version of the ebuild which was posted here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131493
My modification was, that this ebuild also can be installed with FPC 2.0.4. I can attach this modified ebuild if you are interested. However, this ebuild works fine with FPC 2.0.2 and with FPC 2.0.4. If you have tried it and it works, please make a report in the bugtracker to let them merge this ebuild in the official portage tree.

fpc-2.0.4 compiles fail and complains about a parameter of -exec.
However, it works if I use fpc-2.0.2

Most known errors are also reported on http://bugs.gentoo.org, you often also find there a solution for a problem.
But I don't think it is a big problem. On all my PCs here, where I installed Lazarus (AMD64, PPC, a few x86), I doesn't have any problems. But I think I installed them with activated ~ARCH keyword (this will install a newer version of the special package). Read the part about Portage in the Gentoo handbook, there you got a description about how to use the genious features of Portage.
Shortly, to add a ~ARCH keyword (where ARCH is your architecture, for example x86), you have to do this:
echo "dev-lang/lazarus ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "dev-lang/fpc ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
If you would like also to install the documentation and the source of FPC, you have to activate the appropriate USE-flags. You can do this globaly in your /etc/make.conf (but I would not do this, your system will be blown up) or for a special keyword in the /etc/portage/package.use. This should look like this:
echo "dev-lang/fpc doc source" >> /etc/portage/package.use

I tried with emerge lazarus in gentoo but error found in compile time of fpc.

You could try out Gentoo ( www.gentoo.org). The installation of Lazarus
is easy there (like most other things, too). You have to run the command
'emerge lazarus' and that's it.
