You must be *really* short of time ;-)
My concern is more about making my own ebuild (based off of
gentoo-sources) that will patch the kernel source for me so that I can
easily distribute this patched kernel source to all of my computers. I
need the process to be easy so that whom ever succeeds me doesn't have
to learn much more than just running a couple of scripts that I wrote.
Even how, I catch enough crap from my boss already for spending so much
time tinkering with servers instead of programming :)
Is there a guide out there for rolling my own kernel ebuild?

Take a peek at aufs on the sunrise overlay. It has a section that
patches the kernel, dependent on kernel version and USE flags. It looks
like it just informs the user that the kernel was patched.
