This ebuild is a bit ugly, but that comes from bad design upstream (IMO),
because:
1.) There is a script in /etc/vpnc/ (I dislike this place)
2.) "vpnc-connect" has been removed in favor for "vpnc" (not sure if there is a
need for an symlink)

If anyone reads this message, vpnc-0.3.3 works ;)

Yes, it works, but i haven't been using the ebuild. The new VPNC is much nicer
because of it's automatic replacement of the resolv.conf...

So is this going to be added to the portage tree?

please add. shouldn't be too hard to resolve this bug ;-)

Your ebuild seems to be working fine for me, however: 
 
- I think this might be a cleaner statement to install vpnc-script:  
  
	exeinto /etc/vpnc  
	doexe vpnc-script  
  
- according to README, vpnc requires libgcrypt-1.1.90 or above (not  
1.1.91).

vpnc-connect symlink is really not necessary. This is from a post on vpnc-devel:

In short: to connect, you run vpnc, vpnc will run vpnc-script to set up
routing and DNS.  To disconnect, you run vpnc-disconnect, which will
kill vpnc, which will run vpnc-script to reset routing and DNS.
