I know, but this is, imho, an ugly workaround :)
As sed is quite standard, a good solution could be having portage use sed in
the standard way, so that the alias is not needed anymore.
It's a long shot, but when all the calls of sed will be standard, we could
drop dependence on gsed and use it as a virtual package.. this will drop a
package both on *bsd and osx.
As nothing could be considered a regression in moving sed to standard
(argument disposition is just a little change, also other changes needed, for
example grouping similar regexp in a single script, are just minimal
changes), all the gsed functions used by portage are available on normal sed,
and normal sed syntax is understood by gsed, having not to depend on gnu sed
is something useful, from my point of view.
