But while I can emerge 2.0.2, it doesn’t find the right units for x86_64

You have to set the USE-flags 'source' (perhaps also 'doc' if you like) for this package:
    echo "dev-lang/fpc source doc" >> /etc/portage/package.use
If you don't set this USE-flag, only the binary will be installed.

You can fill out a bug report to let the maintainer of the Lazarus package know, that an additional check, if FPC was installed with activated 'source'-USE-flag, would be nice.

fpc-2.0.4 compiles fail and complains about a parameter of -exec.

However, it works if I use fpc-2.0.2

Which error? Please write the full last ~20-30 lines of the emerge.

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 But I think I installed them with activated ~ARCH keyword (this will install a newer version of the special package).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

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.
