Portage was and remains the "official" PM (there's some serious political
history there if you wish to check the list archives), so until it
supports the EAPI (including the two GLEP elements that haven't yet been
officially adopted and are still in development in terms of council
approval), such ebuilds are very unlikely to be allowed in the official
tree.
The announcement took some pains to make it quite clear those ebuilds
weren't headed for the tree anything like soon, but not being a regular
here, you probably missed the subtext. They were quite specific that it
was ONLY for the live SVN ebuilds, which are severely discouraged in the
tree anyway for QA reasons (snapshots under certain conditions, live
ebuilds are usually overlay material only), NOT for ultimate stable
candidates, which is by practical trend what the tree is more and more
considered to be for as the experimental stuff heads for the overlays.
