What I just did last night was checked out the CVS repository, renamed the 
mythtv directory to mythtv-0.18, tared it up (tar -cjvf mythtv-0.18.tar.bz2 
mythtv-0.18/), copied the file over to /usr/portage/distfiles, and ran:

ebuild /usr/portage/media-tv/mythtv/mythtv-0.18.ebuild digest

which re-calculated the MD5, and then just emerged it as usual.  Of course, I 
unmasked the ebuilds in /etc/portage/package.unmask first.  Oh, and I also 
edited the ebuild before digesting to remote the --disable-mmx flag and i 
added --enable-proc-opt to make it use pentium3 instead of pentiumpro arch.  
Gentoo throws your custom march and cflags in there anyway, but I wasn't sure 
if it would override what the ./configure script threw in there or not.

This isn't much of a hassle and only takes a couple of minutes.  And since I 
don't update CVS very often, I don't mind doing this instead of using hacked 
up CVS ebuilds.
