I would like to help, but I don't have the time or cross-compiling know-how to 
do so.

My experience with contrarius was for setting up a cross-compiler for distcc.

The portage way for setting up cross-compilers is sys-dev/crossdev, which is a 
big bash script hard-coded for use with portage.  If contrarius is dropped, 
do you anticipate any problems if crossdev is used alongside paludis?  The 
only problem I would expect may be maintaining paludis config files and 
neglecting some of the portage configs that would be relevent.
