I'll make sure the category shows up in the next Portage release.  For now, you
can edit /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py, and search for this text:

categories=("app-i18n", "app-admin", "app-arch", "app-cdr", "app-crypt",
"app-doc", "app-editors", "app-emulation", "app-games", "app-misc",
"app-office", "app-shells", "app-text", "dev-db", "dev-java", "dev-lang",
"dev-libs", "dev-lisp", "dev-perl", "dev-python", "dev-ruby", "dev-util",
"gnome-base", "gnome-extra", "kde-apps", "kde-i18n", "kde-base", "kde-libs",
"media-gfx", "media-libs", "media-sound", "media-video", "net-analyzer",
"net-apache", "net-dialup", "net-fs", "net-ftp", "net-im", "net-irc",
"net-libs", "net-mail", "net-misc", "net-news", "net-nds", "net-print",
"net-www", "packages", "sys-apps", "sys-devel", "sys-kernel", "sys-libs",
"x11-base", "x11-libs", "x11-misc", "x11-terms", "x11-wm", "virtual",
"dev-tcltk")

Then, simply add "dev-lisp" to the tuple.
