When it is possible portage uses the name of the ebuild to determine what 
version of a package to download. So if the build process is unchanged and 
the revision naming from upstream is sane then renaming the ebuild should be 
sufficient to make a revision bump. This of course implies that you will be 
running software that isn't tested by the Gentoo maintainer and hence Gentoo 
provides no warranties...
