You don't "install" attic, it is an area of the CVS server. You copy
files from it to a local overlay, and setting up one of those is covered
in the Gentoo Handbook.

See, no mention of installing anything. Download and copy "it", i.e. one
ebuild. Google isn't enough, you also have to read the advice given.
