Add the following line to /etc/make.conf:

PORTAGE_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

make that directory:

mkdir -p /usr/local/portage

download the tar/bzipped file called "quasar portage overlay" from the
bug page - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83679

unzip/tar the file so that it ends up with the ebuild having this path:

/usr/local/portage/app-office/quasar/quasar-1.4.5.ebuild

(I find it easier to do this in a gui like midnight commander)

You should then be able to emerge quasar.
