The folding@home website appears to be http://folding.stanford.edu/... do they mention having a linux graphcs display? emerge -s (or -S) will search for it.

Hmm there is a graphical frontend for Seti@home(which is similiar), but the website of folding@home says that it has only an commandline version(really basic).
I just thought that maybe the gentoo users had build some gui for folding@home

Emerge -s folding did not gave any result so i gues that there isn't one.

I know a friend of mine who used Wine to run the Windows version of Folding. I'm not sure if the graphics worked or not but he did say that it folded much faster than the Linux version. Just a something to think about.

Moving from Portage and Programming as it's more of a discussion topic, but does ask about Gentoo packages.
