The problem is that not all packages are available as ebuild or deb, and
even if it is available, it needs not to be up-to-date.
But at least the gentoo-emacs herd does an excellent job. For all
popular packages which are not too easy to install (auctex, cedet,
slime, ...), there's an recent ebuild.
Bye,
