I keep the mythtv installation out of the gentoo installs in /usr/local/mythtv 
(as I do with all ungentoo installs) by setting 
	PREFIX = /usr/local/mythtv
in all settings.pro files (of mythtv and the plugins) and IIRC I did an './
configure --prefix=/usr/local/mythtv' at the very first.

For the '/usr/local/mythtv' dir to work you need a '/etc/env.d/99mythtv like 
the following:
mythtv at elara ~ > cat /etc/env.d/99mythtv
PATH=/usr/local/mythtv/bin
MANPATH=/usr/local/mythtv/man
LDPATH=/usr/local/mythtv/lib

Other than that I only 'make && make install' the current CVS stuff.

HTH
take care, have fun
