Will these vulnerability patches made by the FreeBSD folk be incorporated into the portage tree, and if so, how quickly ? Also, is this GLSA territory or no ?

Apparently the patch has already been incorporated into 0.75-r7, but check the changelog in Portage to be sure.

Yes, but why is that version still ~arch if this is a vulnerability fix ?
