   I can understand Gentoo being unhappy with an RPMg.  What to do
 about it?

Gentoo has no problems dealing with the RPM file. Make sure that you
have emerged wget with ssl support using the ssl USE flag.
Alternatively, download the file with your browser and place it in your
distfiles directory (normally, /usr/portage/distfiles).

  Thanks for the info.  I totally misinterpreted the error message.  Not
too long ago, I asked if -* at the front of my USE varible would hurt.
Guess what I went and didg.  wget gets ssl in package.use now and all
is OK.  If enough other packages need it, I'll explicitly put it into
USE.  I dream of one day having a very short USE variable, and all my
packages having entries in package.use.
