No, Portage can handle binary apps just fine. We have Java, Unreal Tournament
2k3/2k4, Doom 3, Neverwinter Nights... All kinds of binary-only apps.

But all of them are closed-source (Except for the -bin version of some rather
big packages, manly to save people the compile time...).

It feels kinda wrong to install a binary package of a (small) open-source app on
a source-based system...

Its also weird having an opensource app that you can only compile using a
non-free (as in beer) compiler...
