Or better yet, use a portage overlay with a custom patched ebuild.
I've always done that on both my frontend and backend, as there's
always been one patch or another (either a fix or a tweak of my own)
that I've wanted.  Being able to do that fairly easily is one of the
nice things about Gentoo.

There used to be a great wiki on doing that, but apparently it got
lost with the recent loss of the Gentoo-wiki database...ouch.
