While fun, this game's code and Linux support is totally shit.

And after reading http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=23410.0 you'll know why.

Part of it (the game*.so) isn't open source. I'm not sure of the legality of this, but they don't provide it for amd64. And without that and the potential of being banned for using unofficial builds (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=2714.0), and there's just no way it's going to turn out well.

Anyway, I've played this game in the past, and it's a lot of fun. But it's way too unmaintainable to go into portage.
