There's nothing stopping you from building from source, but Lilypond
2.5.2 is there, just not marked stable:

lilypond-2.5.2 ~x86

Something along the lines of this will enable you to emerge it...

echo 'media-sound/lilypond ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

As to why it is masked, I don't know.

'man portage' has a lot of useful info, you should check it out
