D will eventually be an official GCC language and in the Gentoo tree. That will be how you install GDC in the future. We'll have to live with the binary, library and include directories it creates.
I actually fear that moment because the way GCC infrastructure works it is impossible to make language updates within single GCC stack version. So GDC users will likely just ignore obsolete version packaged with GCC and build their own. And we will get reports from frustrated newbies "I have installed gcc-d package from the repo and nothing compiles".
I like LLVM approach much better in that regard as it allows to define own versioning/release scheme.
