Solution provided by Jared H.:
There is a program called unzip which will unzip it. It can be found
in portage category app-arch. According to the depends in
jaxp-1.1.3.ebuild, you much have unzip merged before you can ebuild
jaxp. If you're using emerge it will do this for you automatically.

Now, as for getting jaxp to emerge correctly, you need to download
the zip file from http://java.sun.com/xml/downloads/javaxmlpack.html

The only one I could find here was java_xml_pack-winter01-dev.zip
which appeared to work. You need to place this in /usr/portage/distfiles
and rename it to java_xml_pack-fall01.zip (since that's what jaxp is
looking for) OR you can edit jaxp-1.1.3.ebuild where it says:
At=java_xml_pack-fall01.zip
and make it say
At=java_xml_pack-winter01-dev.zip

Either one will work, then type emerge --pretend dev-java/jaxp
(to see what it's going to do) then emerge dev-java/jaxp
