Presumably this would require maintaining updated documentation,
patches to change the program binary name and configuration paths
etc... In which case it should be done as an external fork, not a
Gentoo thing.

Really, I don't see why there's a need to go out of the way for this.
Upstream clearly don't want their package in the tree, and the
devmanual [1] says that that wish should be respected.
