ok - mike and max both tried to explain how to fix the version number within 
the *ebuild file, but having pretty much 0 python skillz it went straight 
over my head.  I replaced the code with the number, can someone show me 
exactly what i should have?  

<snip>

S=${WORKDIR}/AfterStep-2.00.beta1
DESCRIPTION="A window manager based on the NeXTStep interface."
SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.afterstep.org/stable/AfterStep-2.00.beta1.tar.bz2"

thanks

Call the ebuild afterstep-2.00_beta1.ebuild (notice the underscore instead
of dot).  You can convert the underscore to the dot for $SRC_URI and $S
within the ebuild code with something like ${P/_beta/.beta/}.

well, i think you mean bash and not python since thats what ebuilds are 
written in :)
try this:
MY_PV=${PV/_/.}
S=${WORKDIR}/AfterStep-${MY_PV}
SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.afterstep.org/stable/AfterStep-${MY_PV}.tar.bz2"

Your ebuild is not installing in ${D} obviously. Make sure it does.  Use
einstall or "make DESTDIR=${D} install" instead of "make install".
Read the comments in /usr/portage/skel.ebuild for a better explanation.

If it still doesn't work, you may need to tweak the Makefile itself.
