No. Determining that it is an electrical problem is actually about step 5 (or more depending on the make, model and year). You still have testing via flame thrower, plasma torch, and trebuchet ;-) But seriously, while eselect was built to solve a situation in Gentoo, there is no reason that it cannot be hacked to support a small number of modules like LinuxCNC build version, driver, and configurations. Also, there are systems which also use portage outside of Gentoo...
