Gentoo version numbers are not something that many people around here  
will know. I assume that 3.0_p1 refers to gentoo's tetex ebuild. This  
is ancient, tetex has been unmaintained for almost two years (and  
gentoo should be ashamed that they still haven't gotten around to  
making texlive the default). Of course it's possible to upgrade, but  
you will run into trouble: you'll need to compile a newer version of  
pdftex and install that. The gentoo tex setup is quite complex, and  
finding out why it is still using some old config file etc. is a royal  
pain. I tried it for a while and in the end got fed up with it and  
installed texlive from the iso image (see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeX-live) 
. But if you want to give it a shot, there's a wiki page about it;  
some info may be slightly updated, but most of it should work as  
described: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation#Updating_Gentoo_Linux
