I know very little about GStreamer itself, but Gentoo is something
that I've been using long enough to know my way around.

Basically, most of the plugins from -base, -good, -bad and -ugly in
Gentoo have their own separate package. When you emerge
gst-plugins-base for example, only couple of most used plugins is
built, other plugins are available as separate packages
(gst-plugins-alsa for example is part of -base and is available as
separate package on Gentoo) in order to keep system as fit as
possible.

There is no ebuild for VDPAU plugin in portage tree at the moment, but
creating one should be a breeze. All you need to do is copy an ebuild
for some package in -bad to your local overlay, rename it and do some
small edits (modifying DESCRIPTION and RDEPEND variables should be all
that is needed). Then you can maybe fill a bug with your ebuild
attached to share fruits of your work with others.

For exact steps on how to create an ebuild and process it in local
overlay consult Gentoo's official guides.
