Well, you can hack this sort of thing in /etc/portage/bashrc:
if [[ "$CATEGORY/$PF" == "sys-devel/gcc-4.1.0_beta20050702" ]]; then
declare -r SLOT=4.1.0
fi
(because bashrcs are sourced before the ebuild, you have to make SLOT
readonly to prevent the ebuild being able to set it)
Note you would have to regenerate metadata after this (emerge regen, I
think) - and be careful!
Actually, looking at your question again, I think gcc 3.4.x, 4.0.1_pre*
and 4.1.* have different SLOTs anyway (3.4, 4.0, 4.1 resp.) - so you
should be able to have them installed together anyway?
