Package in portage yet, but it is in the overlays. You can find the necessary overlay using this service http://gpo.zugaina.org/Search?search=steam

Example install Steam from the “gamerlay” overlay.

At the beginning, add the overlay and searchable database update “eix”:

layman -a gamerlay
eix-update

Now required package is easy to find:

eix steam
...
* games-util/steam-launcher [1]
     Available versions:  ~1.0.0.42^md
     Homepage:            http://steampowered.com
     Description:         Installer, launcher and supplementary files for Valve's Steam client
...

It is marked as unstable. This should not confuse you. Remove the mask:

emerge --autounmask-write games-util/steam-launcher
dispatch-conf

Confirm by pressing “u”.

Now you can install the program:

emerge games-util/steam-launcher

Note that running some games may be a message “Please install S3TC texture support”.

Find the required library is not difficult.

eix -S S3TC

P.S. So you can use overlay “steam”. Some of it’s time to install the program was difficult, due to the addition of new dependencies. But now in 64-bit systems the problem has already been solved.

layman -a steam
eix-update
eix steam
emerge --autounmask-write games-util/steam-meta
dispatch-conf
emerge games-util/steam-meta
