[gentoo-dev] multiple depends options

O.k. so lets say we've got an app that can use either iptables or ipchains.
You'd want to make sure one or the other is installed as an RDEPEND or a
DEPEND. Is there someway to do:

(( sys-apps/iptables ) || ( sys-apps/ipchains ))
or
( sys-apps/iptables || sys-apps/ipchains )

I like the second one better.

I don't think yet another USE is a very elegant answer here, nor do I know
if there's enough examples of this case that would warrant a major rev to
portage. 

Any ideas?
