Btw as you said this: There is some --only-deps (or so) option for emerge. :)
I also use Lazarius via subversion and only installed it locally in my home-folder, because I don't like the GTK2 version of Lazarus much (as it is not stable). I also want to have write access to it to recompile it time from time (for testing something and so on) and this is against the idea to have an application installed in the system (no user account on a system should never have write access to any globally installed software). But I use FPC via Portage, because it is stable from there. I wanted to point out the thing with the USE flags, because it seems to me, that you haven't understood this in detail. Perhaps I have missinterpreted this, but if not, take a look at this technic. You don't need to have some unclean installation of FPC in your system (every Gentoo user don't like unclean installations not using Portage, because the advantage of Gentoo is the cleanness of the system you got (if you don't break some basic rules and one of these rules is: never install anything not using Portage)).
