Currently, pkg_nofetch prints:

Fetch instructions for net-misc/icaclient-12.1.0:
 * Download the client RPM file x86? ( ICAClient-12.1.0-0.i386.rpm )
 * 	amd64? ( ICAClient_12.1.0-0.x86_64.rpm ) from
 * 	http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=2323812&productId=1689163
 * and place it in /var/distfiles.

This requires the user to understand rudimentary use conditional syntax, and to know/remember what arch they are on. It might also give the impression that additional action must be taken to inform about which of the files were downloaded.

Modifying the ebuild line
    elog "Download the client RPM file ${SRC_URI} from
to
    elog "Download the client RPM file ${A} from
gives the more friendly message:

Fetch instructions for net-misc/icaclient-12.1.0:
 * Download the client RPM file ICAClient_12.1.0-0.x86_64.rpm from
 * 	http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=2323812&productId=1689163
 * and place it in /var/distfiles.

As far as I can see, the ebuild for the newer version
icaclient-13.2.0.322243.ebuild 
respect this?

From /usr/portage/net-misc/icaclient/icaclient-13.2.0.322243.ebuild:

pkg_nofetch() {
        elog "Download the client file ${A} from
        http://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux/receiver-for-linux-13-2.html"
        elog "and place it in ${DISTDIR:-/usr/portage/distfiles}."

This is amended in all versions currently in gentoo.
