Just file a bug report in Gentoo's Bugzilla - they should update to the
newest version. As I already mentioned - the build process hasn't
changed. Bumping the version in the ebuild (and maybe adding a line for
gtk-update-icon-cache) should get you going. Don't know enough about
Gentoo's ebuilds to do it for you, though..
If there is a bug in the latest upstream version, it's upstream's
responsibility to fix the bug - if it's a bug in a packaged version,
it's the distribution's responsibility to fix the bug for two reasons:
- The distribution might have applied patches to the vanilla tarball
- The distribution might not have packaged the newest upstream version
You can always install gPodder in "/usr/local" - that's what it's here
for (packages installed by the sysadmin and not managed by the packaging
system).

AFAIK it's standard OPML format. The format might have been changed
since the feature was implemented in gPodder, though..

gPodder is using GNU wget for fetching updates and podcasts. You might
want to enable/disable some wget tweaks in your wgetrc. But basically,
it should not be a problem even on a VPN connection.
Enjoy,
