You don't. It would require addition of ${FILE} to the (FETCH|RESUME)COMMAND vars.

Note in the bug that you submit this ebuild in, that the file needs to be downloaded and uploaded by a dev (with the SRC_URI changed over to mirror://gentoo/fpdf153.tgz). Please don't attach the src for the pkg, just tag the url for it into the bug :) It sucks, but it's the usual way of dealing with screwy upstream urls. ~harring
