Gentoo is a ports based system. The ebuild downloads the source and
compiles it then installs it.  It would be best to add a link to the bug
report. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16408 because the build
script will probably be updated.  The bug report is a proposed new
package.  It may eventually become a standard package at which time you
will just need to type

#emerge im-ja

to install im-ja

at the moment you need to make a local package directory.

#mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-i18n/im-ja/

add the local ports  directory to /etc/make.conf
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage

download the package im-ja-0.4_alpha1.ebuild to the im-ja directory

#cd /usr/local/portage/app-i18n/im-ja
#wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=11389&action=view

make the ebuild digest file.

#ebuild im-ja-0.4_alpha1.ebuild digest

then emerge the im-ja package

#emerge im-ja
