There are no sanctioned alternatives.

An experimental alternative that you can look at is udept written by Ed
Catmur.  You can download an ebuild for use in your overlay at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~fuzzyray/overlay/app-portage/udept/

Out of curiousity, what is wrong with revdep-rebuild that you are
looking for alternatives?

Regards,
Paul

Absolutely nothing. I have learned (thru pain) that you need to
run 'revdep-rebuild -p' on a semi routine basis.....

I have a friend (XP and FreeBSD) genius that refuses to listen
or join gentoo-user for himself.....He's surpassed the 
buffer limits of fgrep......{}

So I posted a generic question so he (hi bernie)
could read the responses in
linux.gentoo.user via net-news.

Naturally, since I recommended Gentoo, I get to do
admin over the phone and email......

Here's a nice little repository of experimental scripts too:
