Well... one can only do "import portage" if one's really sure one uses a
Gentoo patched python.  (Admittedly this is in general the case.)
Portage code itself uses a guard to extend the python path in case the
import fails.

However, doing "import portage" slows you down a lot, so if you don't
really need it, I would disadvice to do it.

I'm not sure how much root support works in Java.  I just imagined that
you'd run the tool on a chroot or something.
