Looks like the i2c and lm_sensors patchsets are no longer being applied
to gentoo-sources:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45450

The end result being that the instruction in the wiki are invalid.  You
might try this wiki instead:

http://wiki.gentoo-portage.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV

Those instructions suggest the love-sources kernel, which, while very
nice, is not in portage.  If that concerns you, then try mm-sources
first, which *should* work with the instructions.

Regards,

Chris
