According to this very useful site:

http://www.portagefilelist.de/index.php/Special:PFLQuery

the only package that provides lomount is xen. Which seems odd.

What is it that you want to do? Do you have a single filesystem in one

an entire disk containing more than one filesystem and need to mount
just one of them?
