Ugh.  You're right.  Yet another important piece of software I have
to manage without the convenience of Portage.  :(

My TDM400, despite being very new, was affected by the bug that older
ones had in which they'd change their PCI ID sometimes after a power
cycle.  I also had to modify the zaptel driver to support pulse dialing
(I have a collection of vintage phones).  So I guess it's not really
that big of a deal.

One of these days I need to explore the possibility of getting
zaptel to decode coin tones (1700+2200Hz) so I can cancel my
(expensive) coin line and move my Western Electric 2C2 to
Asterisk.  Coin relay control isn't a problem, so the only
remaining hurdle is the coin detection.
