000285 !!! dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl-18.20.684755 has fetch restriction turned on.
000286 !!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded
000287 !!! manually.  See the comments in the ebuild for more information.

I have a RX580, need the proprietary opencl drivers for Blender. I’m installing the packages via porthole.

You should download the driver archive yourself from the site by agreeing to the license.
Copy the archive to directory /var/calculate/remote/distfiles/

The Drivers are only available through RPMS or deb files. How can i compile them on calculate?

However, Portage can install such packages if there is no other alternative:

wget https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amdgpu-pro-18.20-684755-ubuntu-16.04.tar.xz -P /var/calculate/remote/distfiles
emerge -av dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl
