It is deprecated, which is why it is no longer in the path.

My recomendation is to create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin (which
is in the default path)

ln -s /usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/qpkg /usr/local/bin/qpkg

Answering your question about paths, the place to put it would
be /root/.bashrc

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin
