The link listed in the original post looks to be an old one. Perhaps the newest version (2.0) will work:

new Foxit 1.0-1 version is released. I've made a ebuild which based on cdf@newsmth 's work (bug#175880). Since it not merged into main repository, so I put it at gentoo-china overlay. Hope helps

foxitreader 1.1.0 has been out for over two months. The 
ebuild from gentoo-china overlay works. Please consider
pushing into tree.

Actually the above ebuild needs a small patch to work correctly, if foxitreader is launched from the command line. I have sent the patch to the maintainer in the overlay. And attaching the diff against the above ebuild.

Manifest for app-text/foxitreader-1.1.0, and md5sums of used libraries.

The ebuild is working. Inserting the line
  sed -e 's:export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="":export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".":g' -i usr/bin/foxitreader
in beginning of function src_install() fixes a bug.

I had one missing library (/usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.13.0.9), found on my oldest gentoo installation. I attached the md5sum of all libraries used on my system, so that others lacking some libraries may crawl for them. With this library, FoxItReader works well, I can comment PDF files without Acrobat.

I also added the version of the Manifest that I found in this overlay.

FYI, I opened bug 308147 to request inclusion in portage.  That bug also includes an updated version of the ebuild, with support for amd64 among other things.  I recommend posting future comments to that bug instead of this one, given that this one has been closed for nearly 3 years as WONTFIX.
