I think he's asking about the ebuild. The version he wants is not in portage.
Joseph,
If you have the package *already* installed and want to remerge it, there's a
local copy of the ebuild in
/var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>-<version>
copy it from there to your local overlay and remerge as normal.
If you unmerged the package already, then the ebuild is gone. Maybe you have a
backup. There's also an svn attic somewhere where everything that was ever in
portage is stored. I don;t know where it is, but Google does. Search for it.
