man emerge will also show you that if you really want to "roll your
own" but have the package be recorded as installed, you can inject
it:
inject (-i)
Injecting a package inserts a 'stub' for that package so that
Portage thinks that it is installed. It is handy if you need, say,
a binary version of XFree86 for esoteric hardware, or you just like
to roll your own packages. You must specify a category and partic-
ular version of a package for injecting. For example, emerge
inject sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.19.
I suggest you spend some more time reading documentation. It's all
there.
