Instead you should write an ebuild (
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2) then
contibute it back to the community(
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml), or find someone else who
will do it for you/already has done it and use their ebuild (
http://bugs.gentoo.org)
