It doesn't have exactly the same features, and it's not as good as
amarok, but still truly a great application: rythmbox[1]. Another nice
program is muine[2]. Maybe you want to evaluate them, and maybe you'll
like one of those. For me, amarok still is on top. ;-)

There is also Jamboree. Uses much less cpu cycles than Rhythmbox.
http://www.imendio.com/projects/jamboree/

Not in portage though.
