Sounds like the info file may be wrong.  It needs certain entries for
install-info to add it to the info index.  Does emerging your package

And if you are not already, you should be using doinfo if you are
installing info pages manually.

Take a look at nvidia-kernel, pcmcia-cs, etc ebuilds for examples.
