If your asking about alternative package managers, I am aware of 2

paludis - requires heavy modification to environment
pkgcore - does not support EAPI 6, only experimental EAPI 5

pkgcore existed before PMS, and seems like more development before PMS
https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgcore/graphs/contributors

IMHO PMS was mostly about paludis and not Gentoo or portage. I recall
how it came about and the people behind the effort.
