I need to make a change in the code for a gentoo package (pgcalc2) to

How can I do this?

Assuming you have a fairly standard setup:

ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild unpack
<make change in /var/tmp/portage/pgcalc2-2.2.4/work>
ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/sci-calculators/pgcalc2/pgcalc2-2.2.4.ebuild install

See "man ebuild".
