Yes. The best way is to grab one, change the name and upload it to ibiblio.org.
I'm not going to be hacking at Portage to deal with archives with no version numbers;
the problem is with the archive that doesn't have a version number, not Portage.
BTW, you may want to suggest that their archive generation script be upgraded so
that the generated archives have an attached version number or date.
