That's not what Gentoo does. It uses /opt for any closed-source software, while /usr/local is left untouched. I believe Ubuntu doesn't use /usr/local either.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard) says it's for "Tertiary hierarchy for local data, specific to this host."
