I'm not sure.  There isn't a good website for it, and it isn't in
the gentoo package tree.  But I imagine it would work like sshfs
does.  I can say:
#v+
sshfs server.example.com:/home/randy/files /mnt/files
#v-

And it's mounted as if it were local.  It's really handy for
situations where you have (for example) a raspberry pi taped to your
stereo system running MPD, and the music files stored on your server
in the next room :)

Doing this with gopherpedia would be cool.  You could perhaps have
/mnt/gopherpedia mounted, and have your own scripts browse it and do
whatever you like.

Interesting, I didn't realize that.  From what I've seen so far,
gopher seems like it's worth keeping alive.
