I'm not aware of an ebuild.

I presume you've got a 64-bit Gentoo install, and the default release VM is
32-bit.
Pharo & Squeak use the same VM (although Pharo depends on a few more
external libs)
and has some instructions for other distributions here.

But 64-bit is getting close

Or you might try Squeak's experimental 64-bit...

You can also use 'ldd' to determine the dependencies.

(maybe after I get it working I'll learn how to write an ebuild and do

Easing installation on another platform would be cool. Here are your
sources...
