On the contrary, the project's Gentoo ebuilds come with a script that 
allows generation of ones own ebuilds as desired.  The current version 
has the limitation that it must be run from the root of the overlay, and 
requires that you give it a unique tag if you want to generate a new 
hash from the same day as your base ebuild.

cd /path/to/your/git/clone/Gentoo/
scripts/mythtv-buildebuild.py --version=0.25 
--hash=94bf2f1eed9b274f33d20028fdec582a2d1f4867

Fortunately, the schema was not updated until two commits past where the 
current ebuilds are.  You are clear all the way back to 94bf2f1eed9b27 
on November 10th, using the command indicated above.  Note that the 
specific version tied to the current ebuild was for a backend protocol 
bump, so if you have multiple machines, they must all be on the same 
side of that barrier.
