A bit off-Topic here, but as other gentoo-users may come across this thread in 
the archives:
Scribus 1.0 is masked because it is not yet considered "stable" by the 
gentoo-team.
You can add
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" 
to your /etc/make.conf 
and then you should be able to compile it "the gentoo way".
If you have tested it, you can go to stable.gentoo.org and tell them that it 
compiles fine and it runs fine (if it does). That might help to get it 
unmasked sooner.
