Standard > workstation fare runs fine as well. acroread failed to build on my Gentoo AMD64 install as well. However it has gpdf (gnome pdf) Which I recently used to view some PDFs. The instant-workstation port failed to build for me because it required acroread. Maybe the instant-workstation could drop the requirement for acroread and substitute gpdf, xpdf and/or kpdf (or whatever KDE uses) for the PDF reader depending on desktop choice. Just a thought.
