Hmm, according to

   https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/jmtpfs

this package looks rather unmaintained,  last changed  in November 2013.
There are also

   https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/mtpfs

which doesn't look much better, maintenance-wise, and

   https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/simple-mtpfs

which at least seems maintained.   There are quite a few  other packages
listed at

   https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MTP

where it's also mentioned  that Thunar can  connect to MTP  file systems
using the "xfce-extra/thunar-volman" package.

Personally I haven't yet used  any of these  because I'm quite satisfied
using "adb" from package "dev-util/android-tools".

Sincerely,
  Rainer
