Why the hell not?
Once you have a source-based distro the package manager can be a
matter of choice also -- so long as it accepts the existing
package constructs as input.
As pointed out earlier, Gentoo hasn't forked often, it's
configurable enough that noone needs to fork it to have the
results meet their needs.
Pretty much the only thing we all have to have in common is the
portage source packages; after that there could easily be
mutliple installers. If you use an offball product you'd have
to rely on whomever hacked it to get support -- vs. hitting up
the usual gentoo list for help -- but if satisfies your needs
using "frobnicate install..." why would having second package
manager be all that bad?
