    Portage is for .ebuild files and .ebuild files only! That package you would need to install like you would on any other distro, extract it, then with a terminal cd to the folder and type ./configure && make, and then as root make install.

    i'm not sure if you're asking how to convert something to bz2 or how to decompress bz2 so my answer is this: read the man page for bzip2 - "man bzip2" at the command line.
