Hi

I think an integration would, like Hallski said, bring too many work and 
questions to the developers. Maybe a site that holds user-built cvs ebuilds
would be nice, where the user can download the cvs ebuild he wants, 
on his/her own risk... Ofcourse those ebuilds have a big change of being 
full of bugs and/or useless, because most of the incoming ebuilds have to be
debugged before being placed in portage, and the ones on the site wouldn't
have had a checkup at all..
