OK, I did `emerge =pciutils-2.1.11-r1` and then got 
sparc-dev-sources-2.6.2-rc2.  However, I don't see any difference in 
keyboard support for United Kingdom keyboards.

A stock Mandrake install gives the Euro symbol at the console and all 
the Alt-Gr mappings, such as the German s-sharp (ß) and things like 
¹²³.  With Gentoo I've only been able to get these things in X using 
xmodmap.
