I tend to hack the ebuilds to work with the new versions, something
like
mkdir /usr/local/portage/media-video/mythtv/
cd /usr/local/portage/media-video/mythtv/
sed -e "s/0.14/0.15/" \
/usr/portage/media-video/mythtv/mythtv-0.14.ebuild > mythtv-0.15.ebuild

would probably not work this way, but you get the direction
If you can't get it to work, take the ebuild and work closely with the
commands in the ebuild, that way could get everything in the path
where you would want it on a gentoo system.

no, it won't (at least not in the default configuration, where /etc is
in CONFIG_PROTECT)

you would have to remover mysql for that, and I am not even sure the
db would be deleted in that case
