No.
Gentoo is providing this only if a user specify build from source and
ask idea explicitly.
Also Gentoo enforces dropping idea when binary redistribution is made.

Please refer to:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-libs/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.0-r1.ebuild?rev=1.8&view=markup

I will appreciate any way to improve this.

I hope this helps,
Alon.
