You probably will get more by reemerging this package: sys-apps/util-linux
emerge -1 util-linux
At least there is the package that currently provides more on my system.
Either way, I'd recommend what the more man page recommends: use less.
Direct quote from my more man page:
"More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.
This version is especially primitive. Users should realize that
less(1) provides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements."
