What ebuild(s) do I need for cron to mail its output (locally) to root?
any MTA should do it, the simplest is probably ssmtp

try emerge ssmtp

maybe, some configuration is needed
(I didn't try it.)

snip
        ssmtp is a send-only sendmail emulator...
        It accepts a mail stream on *STANDARD INPUT* with recipients
        specified on the command line and synchronously forwards
        the message to the mail transfer agent of a mailhub for
        the mailhub MTA to process.
Sorry, I appologize for this mistake.
I didn't know ssmtp is not full MTA, but send-out only one.
I unmerged it during installation of my gentoo box
(probably lot of users do so) because I installed
my prefered MTA, which is qmail.
