It should still be in the gentoo mirrors. 

I suggest to treeclean the package, if the mirrors are no reliable solution for the google code shutdown and users report broken packages. 

Further reasons:
* unmaintained
* upstream moved and forked long time ago. No one updated the ebuild.
* first report of the shutdown was on 2015-03-22, all developers were informed by email.

It is impossible to treeclean this looking to the amount of reverse dependencies this is having
