I am not using an ebuild for the svn-version of Blender.
It is compiled "outside" Gentoo, installed under /usr/local 
and the only thing, which may have "system-impact" (...) is
one big executable: Blender itsself. The whole thing cant
have any influence on the rest of the system.

And as said, eselect reports:

eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.6 *
  [2]   python3.1
