If you manually compiled a CVS version of any software package, portage would not know that you had it installed. Trying to emerge a different version of mythtv from the portage tree, for example, would stomp all over your CVS installation.
You'd just have to do a "note to self" type of thing that you had CVS mythtv installed and not to try to emerge it.

Thanks for that. After doing some more research I now lean towards using Gentoo instead: http://tinyurl.com/4lxdb makes it sound a bit easier to look out for all the dependencies than doing everything by hand and the install guide for Gentoo - while a bit intimidating - looks like the right mix of geekiness and ease-of-use for me. :-) I'm wondering, however, how well Gentoo plays with CVS versions: If I decide later on to grab a CVS version of MyhTV, would I be able to go back to using one from the portage tree if I wanted to, or would that be as difficult as trying to mix installs from most of the binary package managers with manual compiles? Thanks any insight. Jens
