I was able to compile libbtctl-0.4.1 on my amd64 system and use it in conjunction with gnome-bluetooth. It seems like this should probably be marked at least ~amd64. One caveat: libbtctl depends on dev-libs/openobex. The only openobex version that is currently marked amd64 or ~amd64 is 1.0.1. Unfortunately, this version does not allow libbtctl to compile (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80400). Downgrading to openobex-1.0.0 (which currently means forcing this version along with the x86 keyword) resolves this issue. Once the correct flags are set on openobex, gnome-bluetooth, and libbtctl, simply emerging gnome-bluetooth on amd64 should be possible.
