Well, I haven't done any work with ebuilds other than use them and look at them. I am going to try an ebuild for a program so I've been looking the docs. If worst comes to worst you can take the existing ALSA ebuild, move it to a local portage directory (that's explained in the docs), add your patches and have a private ebuild that will survive syncs.
