I looked at fmit in the overlay a little while ago, if I remember correctly 
the ebuild depends on Qt3 which is not in portage any more. I got a bit 
distracted and forgot about it to be honest.

You might have some luck by adding the kde-sunset overlay with layman to get 
the Qt3 dependencies and then trying to emerge it. I purged Qt3 from my system 
months ago so it would be a bit of a chore to compile it just for testing 
fmit.

As far as I know the latest version from the fmit homepage is still a Qt3 app. 
Please post back your findings whether you get it to work or not. If it 
doesn't work maybe it should be masked.

Cheers
