I've been sourcing the following from my .emacs. It is basically what
you have and makes use of the shell-script mode (for that lovable
font-locking goodness). As time permits, I'll add keywords for
everything portage related (dobin, dodoc, inherit etc.). May even
consider adding it to the emacs/xemacs ebuilds somehow (or at least
app-emacs/).
