I was curious myself, and from what I found there are only two ways to go about this: - if you install texlive outside of portage, using for example the network install, you can use tlmgr to install packages (https://www.tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html) - install the package manually into $TEXMFHOME (usually ~/texmf, see the ou= tput of "kpsexpand '$TEXMFHOME'") For both I found instructions at https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Installing_Extra_Packages (a pretty good wikibook in general IMHO). Also, I found some better (AFAICT) instructions = at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/30307/how-to-install-latex-zip-packa= ge-from-ctan-using-texhash-on-a-nix-system. Or maybe you can see if you can get someone to update the g-ctan package, which is masked due to incorrect dependencies (it depends on the now non-existent texlive 2011 packages). But really, I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be a tool that can ins= tall packages from CTAN locally into $TEXMFHOME directly.
