Just download the zip file. It's easy to to just put it in your home directory 
somewhere and use it. Sure, it would be great if gentoo got a more up-to-date 
version, but you can just download it yourself and use it quite easily, and it's 
self-contained if you don't copy the files to /usr/bin and the like, so 
uninstalling it later is a breeze.
