2.
3.

Actual Results:  
file /usr/share/netperf/*

install them properly.

also version bump could be done

netperf-2.2pl4.tar.gz

Noticed the same. I'll try to do a better ebuild later today.

Here we go, ebuild for netperf-2.2_p4. Did _alot_ of changes, here's the ChangeLog entry:

  New version, using netperf-2.2pl4. Fixed NETPERF_HOME to /opt/netperf
  instead of pervert /usr/share/netperf. Changed DESCRIPTION. Fixed LICENSE.
  It's _not_ HP, the correct license is (for now) at files/LICENSE. README has
  some more info about the license. Added man pages, netperf.ps manual and
  init.d script. Made it use emake instead of make and "make install" for
  installing. There is also a commented out IUSE="ipv6". I have no chance to
  test it right now, please do so if you are able to.

The ebuild, digest, changelog and this "new" license are in the submitted tar ball. And as always, put them to my web page also: http://www.kruu.org/jvtm/portage/net-analyzer/netperf/
