Hi,
If you want seamonkey in mozilla's place 'virtually install' mozilla.
#echo "www-client/mozilla-1.7.13" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
This will make portage believe that mozilla is really installed.
But watch out for changes in "gecko-sharp" whatever wants to fetch
mozilla. Now 'yelp' will *use* seamonkey.
