Looking at the site, it seems to be a GNOME package. Turns out I have it
available from an old sync with breakmygentoo (which I really have to
take out of my overlay list one of these days, but at least this time
it's useful):
gnome-extra/NetworkManager [2]
Available versions: *0.3.1 ~0.3.1.030505 ~0.3.1.050205
Installed: none
Homepage: http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/
Description: Network policy manager for the HAL-ized
freedesktop.org
Notwithstanding that bmg is not an official resource, nor a recommended
one, at least now you have the package info in terms of what category
it's in, and what the package would be called under Portage, if it was
in Portage, which it does not appear to be.
There is, however, an ebuild for 0.3.1 on b.g.o--
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69396
which can 'legitimately' be put in one's overlay.
