acroread failed to build on my Gentoo AMD64 install as well.
However it has gpdf (gnome pdf)
Which I recently used to view some PDFs.

The instant-workstation port failed to build for me because it required 
acroread. Maybe the instant-workstation could drop the requirement for 
acroread and substitute gpdf, xpdf and/or kpdf (or whatever KDE uses) 
for the PDF reader depending on desktop choice.

Just a thought.
