I'm not a Gentoo developer, but here's my opinion:

As this binary and ebuild will not be distributed by Gentoo, you can put
anything reasonable in the LICENSE string, like

LICENSE="/usr/share/doc/your_binary-x.y/LICENSE.txt"

Ship the LICENSE.txt (or whatever its name is) together with the ebuild
in a tar ball, extract the LICENSE.txt to the files directory, then in
the ebuild use dodoc to put it in the doc directory.
