There is a program called unzip which will unzip it. It can be found
in portage category app-arch. According to the depends in
jaxp-1.1.3.ebuild, you much have unzip merged before you can ebuild
jaxp. If you're using emerge it will do this for you automatically.

Now, as for getting jaxp to emerge correctly, you need to download
the zip file from http://java.sun.com/xml/downloads/javaxmlpack.html

The only one I could find here was java_xml_pack-winter01-dev.zip
which appeared to work. You need to place this in /usr/portage/distfiles
and rename it to java_xml_pack-fall01.zip (since that's what jaxp is
looking for) OR you can edit jaxp-1.1.3.ebuild where it says:
At=java_xml_pack-fall01.zip
and make it say
At=java_xml_pack-winter01-dev.zip

Either one will work, then type emerge --pretend dev-java/jaxp
(to see what it's going to do) then emerge dev-java/jaxp

In case you're wondering why you have to download this manually, instead
of portage getting it for you, it's because Sun Microsystems uses a
random ftp location for it's files, which requires you to visit their
website read the license agreement and then download the file.

Of course it would have been nice if Karl had said a little more than
just "!!! Please download X from X". But then again, this way I learned
more about portage by figuring out how to do it.
