Thanks for the response, I guess I'll post to the osx mailing list, but really my issue isn't about osx per se, but taking the osx portage port and making it run on any posix system (solaris, osx, flavors of linux etc) in a sandboxed environment. I've read through the developer documentation and

At one time we had a problem with gentoo sources having way too many use flags and patches which lead to there being an incalculable number of ways that gentoo -sources could turn out. It was a pita to maintain. A pita to troubleshoot. There were weird bugs that we couldn't reproduce easily.
