Sadly, there's no separate pdfetex ebuild for Gentoo.

Yes, there's one in /var/lib/texmf/web2c. The reason for this layout is to separate architecture-dependent files and non-architecture-dependent files. I can't say that the added complexity justify this separation. nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!
