Hi all

You can have installed two packages using two SLOTs in one time. But if you
update or install anything, current packages/ebuilds have no intelligence to
guess, for which SLOT they should be compiled.

I'm really not up to speed on this issue, but it feels very similar to Python hassles I've had. We run Zope, which uses Python 2.1.3, but we also use packages that require other Pythons, including 2.3. The Zope Product ebuilds are clever enough to install into the site-packages of multiple /usr/lib/python2.*, but other Python module ebuilds want to install into only one (the newest?) Python's site-packages. It would be necessary to say "I want to emerge this module for the Python in that SLOT", and to have this reflected in the output of the gentoolkit tools.
