Recursive pkgmerge will work in 1.0_rc4_pre3.  We have a mostly-working
recursive pkgmerge on the latest CVS version of Portage, but it requires
packages to be organized in category sub-directories (right now, they're in a
single "all" directory).  We will also very likely have a slight
backwards-compatible change to the package format in 1.0_rc4_pre3 to make
recursive pkgmerge workable.

So, we're working on it; please stay tuned :)
