Both were already implemented in Paludis, if you're looking for a
reference implementation to try it out. There are also examples of
use of SDEPEND in the old kdebuilds, and of DEPENDENCIES in Exherbo. I
can give you a small patch to turn SDEPEND on for an EAPI if you like
(it's just a one line addition to the EAPI definition file).
