Easier way to do this.  Let's say the ebuild for mozilla-thunderbird is
a file called:

/usr/portage/web-apps/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-1.4.r1.ebuild

You just do:

emerge web-apps/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-1.4.r1.ebuild

I don't have access to my gentoo system right now to make sure that the
ebuild file nomenclature is exactly correct, but that's the idea.  Just
give it a specific filename and emerge will build that version, whether
it's stable or not.
