You can do that, just go into /usr/portage and treat the whole thing like
a BSD ports system. When you're in a package directory execute
ebuild <package>.ebuild merge
and portage will do it's thing, only without checking dependencies. So
you'll probably get configure failures, but once a package is built that
way portage will treat it as though it were installed normally.
