Dear list, It's great to hear that there are GIS people on gentoo :). Currently I am trying to work in GIS applications especially in GRASS-GIS 6.0 and QGIS 0.6, but there are no ebuilds for these so I installed in normal-linux way. I didnt develop ebuilds before, but I think i could involve in it in some way (testing, writing ebuilds - it is time to start :))
