There's Kemerge ( http://freshmeat.net/projects/kemerge ), for KDE obviously, 
and just today I saw someone on the user list who is making a pyGTK frontend 
(Collins,  erichey2@attbi.com , subject was "emerge and redirected files").

You might want to get in touch with one of those people.

There's also someone working on a java frontend to the command line
utils, I saw it on freshmeat sometime last week.

[gentoo-dev] Portage GUI Front End

[Corey Taylor]

Hello all fellow Gentoo and Free Software users. Allow me to introduce 
myself. My name is Corey Taylor and I am CS major at UMASS Boston. I've 
been very interested for awhile now in making my contribution to Free 
Software. Thankfully I'm finally acquiring the programming skills that I 
need to make a valuable conrtibution.

First, I'd like to say that Gentoo is the best distribution I've used so 
far. Since I like it so much I'd like to give something back by 
attempting to develop a GUI front-end for Portage. Or if there is 
already a similar project underway, I'm more than willing to jump in and 
help out. Either way I'd like to work on creating a GUI front-end for 
Portage. I love the command line utils, but I think Gentoo could be more 
attractive if we had the option of using a GUI to administer the 
software on our systems.

If there is already a project of this nature underway, can someone 
please refer me to the correct people to contact. If there isn't, I am 
willing to take the initiative to get this thing going. I've got some 
extra time this summer so now is an ideal time for me to do this. If 
anyone is interested in helping me out with code, advice, links, 
whatever. Email me at coreytaylor@serviceasap.ca. Thanks all.
