Have you tried Sorcery from Source Mage?
No, but I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the pointer.
Might also want to check out paludis, a spiritual successor
to portage, built from scratch (written in c++), designed with
the focused goal of fixing portage's shortcomings:

Sorry no direct experience with these yet - not promoting

(I've been using gentoo for a variety of purposes in a variety
of roles/capacities and environments for many years now, and
it's my linux of choice - the amount of fine-grained control and
convenience I've gained via portage has far exceeded the
occasional intermittent frustrations)
