There aren't many of them, but there are ebuilds that install proprietary binary files even in the main repository. One of the advantages of Gentoo is that we actually can distribute ebuilds like these without distributing the copyrighted binaries they are used to install. Most other packaging systems put the files to be installed in the same file as the metadata required to install them, which ends up meaning that you can't distribute either. That said, I have no idea if this particular program has been packaged by anybody. -- Rich
