dpkg has a native gentoo version app-arch/dpkg but dpkg --unpack gave an error. However ar x worked fine. Ended up with usr/bin/runescape-launcher which is fine, but also usr/share stuff which I'll check for collisions. (this is all in /var/tmp)
Thanks very much, you saved me much trouble. Not sure if its just me, but apt is written in c++ using mostly C constructs, and doesn't seem to have been through an oo design. Makes it very weird to try to follow. I won't be able to install/run it today due to being busy.
