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.
