Here's a different thought.  If you have a Postscript printer (or even
just the printer
driver), send the page to that printer driver, printing to a file. 
That gives you Postscript.
Then use 
     ps2pdf myfile.ps
to create 'myfile.pdf'.  All done.

Don't have 'ps2pdf'?  
   emerge -a app-text/ghostscript
