The ebuild for Manaplus hasn't been updated in a long time.
yeah, since most releases are just broken
I think the ebuild can be updated, I've just tried it with the current latest version of manaplus (1.4.10.11) and it works like a charm. The only change needed is to remove the "rm -r src/guichan || die" line.

(In reply to Julian Ospald (hasufell) from comment #3) That change it's due to the fact that "src/guichan" doesn't exist any more in newer versions.
manaplus-1.5.5.9 is in portage
