AFAIK, there's is no such thing. (Generally the first place to check
would be bugs.gentoo.org, which shows that nothing by the name of
arabtex exists.)
There was some effort on making a g-ctan script which like the g-cpan
script (which installs perl packages from CPAN) can install CTAN
packages, it is at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85411
but I am not quite sure whether it would work or not.
Your best bet is to just install the package yourself directly from
CTAN, installation notes and list of files are here:
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/install.txt
and follow the installation advice
http://www.ctan.org/installationadvice/
Best of luck
