Make your own ebuild (use the existing as a starting/base) and then define PORTDIR as some directory such as /usr/local/portage. I dont' have the docs here but check Gentoo Developer docs on making an ebuild.

With gentoo, what is the easiest way to deal with this with the portage
system?? And how do I do it?? :)
