Hey,

I'll admit I didn't read everything, but I just want to point out you
may not have to edit ebuilds at all. If xz-utils is package.provided
portage should ignore the dependency without you removing the dep from
an ebuild. Then you can utilize /etc/portage/patches to apply any
patches and finally try using EXTRA_ECONF and MYMESONARGS to override
configure options via package.env.
