It runs (of course), but the version in portage is not multi-threaded. 
For that, you will need JACK2, which is able to use more than just one 
CPU. You can find it in the pro-audio overlay. But be aware that if 
you're on a 64-bit Gentoo, the package will break if you have 
emul-linux-x86-soundlibs installed. I posted a bug about it, along with 
a fix, but it was not accepted:

You can manually delete the offending files.
