Have a look at GLCU (http://www.panhorst.com/glcu/). Might not be the perfect solution for your needs but it might help. Tools like this one, /etc/portage and a private overlay for testing and/or pinning would be pretty usefull for you right now. Might want to check GLEP 19 IIRC for the enterprise tree idea.
