Thanks for the ebuild. I think it is invalid though, as these Brother .ppd files are already provided in the /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Brother/ directory by net-print/foomatic-db-ppds.  Please try installing net-print/foomatic-db-ppds instead.  Then of course you need to configure the CUPS printer as described in:
