You should see this by re-emerging the package and watching the screen - there
should be lots of "checking for" lines during the emerge output. You should be
able to scroll back through it all when the package has finished emerging.

Look in the ebuild. [1]
It looks like it's configured with --with-lispdir=/$path/$to/$directory if you
have the USE=emacs.
It looks like it applies an xemacs compatibility patch [2], but I doubt that
makes a difference.
Otherwise, as far as I can see, it uses the makefile's defaults.
I'm not sure what's going on with "$(use_enable nls)" in the ebuild - perhaps
someone else on this list could explain what USE=nls does for this package.

If you run `sudo ebuild /usr/portage/app-misc/gtypist/gtypist-2.9.5.ebuild
unpack` you should be able to find the file with that line.
The "/*" and "*/" make that line into a comment, so "uncomment" it [3] by
removing them. Save the file.
Now you should be able to run `sudo ebuild
/usr/portage/app-misc/gtypist/gtypist-2.9.5.ebuild install` to install gtypist
with the modified code.
I haven't done this in a while, so hopefully someone will correct me if I've
got anything wrong. My first instinct was to epatch, but I don't think that's
necessary.
HTH,
Stroller.
