Basically right, but copying the program won't fix anything, because it is still linking off of the /lib/libncurses.so.5 and that is the old one.

I fixed my system by patching the path with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-5.7/work/narrowc/lib/
and using the new tic in ../progs/tic (relative to the narrowc/misc/ where the run_tic.sh is)

so the full command:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-5.7/work/narrowc/lib/ ../progs/tic -x -s -o /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-5.7/image//usr/share/terminfo terminfo.tmp

works for me, I'll see if I can make that an ebuild rather than a manual patch
