Seems a good howto is needed. This time around, I bascially just started emerging (emerge texlive) and after all the bumps and twists and turns, eventually I'd figured out that USE flags were needed. I hadn't seen that at first, even though I've installed texlive on Gentoo before, a couple or three years ago.
