That is the beauty of Gentoo, add "dvd", "alsa", "lirc", "qt" and possibly a few other key words to your USE variable, type "emerge mythtv" and viola, a working system has emerged (pun intended) with all of your options compiled in. Downside, as stated, is the amount of time it takes....for me on my most recent build (1.5Ghz Sempron) it took about 2 days or so of compile time.
