It is not in PMS/EAPI, presumably because binpkgs are a Portage-only
feature. (Things like profiles/license_groups aren't in PMS either...)

The feature is documented in emerge(1) and ebuild(5) or
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/ebuild/ though, and it
exists since 2007:
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/a19efeb2d64e2442975d5d9f6175eaf4

But yes, I would be in favour of documenting RESTRICT=bindist and
ACCEPT_RESTRICT in the devmanual and in the handbook. Maybe here would
be a good place:
