It did. My question was why the command "man mp" doesn't do anything
(since the site shows that *there is* a man page).
Anyway, the README suggests to "make gmp". Sure enough, the command gmp
launches the gui version.

Ugly thing, unfortunatelly, and no option to set fonts. Old gtk... So I checked my use flags and the
one that uses gtk2 when the program supports it was not set.  A new
emerge, and lo! no more gui version:
 	$ gmp
 	bash: /usr/bin/gmp: No such file or directory

Well, I'll stick with vim & gvim :)
