Guys, first up, let me say I'm a fan of gentoo, for want of a better
word, it tastes good!
:-)

I haven't really had a chance to look at the system closely, I'm payed
to babysit some solaris servers, not play with my workstation - which is
what brings me to my question:

How hard would it be to extend the emerge/portage system for other OS's.
I'm particularly interested in the idea of being able to do something
like an "emerge kde" on a sun box, and have kde and required stuff
appear under /opt or /usr/local somewhere.

Has anyone else considered this?

Thanks,
	Tristan.
