It's been dead for some time since AOL had a hissy fit over the name.

The new gaim is now called pidgin. It's not a new product really, just a 
version bump that is a name change.

It was hard masked in portage very recently. Unfortunately for gaim 
users, the upgrade consists of unmerge gaim, merge pidgin, import 
settings.
