I ended up making a copy of the mythtv-0.25_rc20120329.ebuild (pulled in 
via the github/Mythtv/packaging/Gentoo instructions @ 
https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/tree/master/Gentoo) and changing the 
following for one of the commits from Tuesday:

MYTHTV_VERSION="v0.25-33-g9dbbc06"
MYTHTV_BRANCH="fixes/0.25"
MYTHTV_REV="9dbbc06c096b8268a41e91689fe30f2f43eb54ba"
MYTHTV_SREV="9dbbc06"
KEYWORDS="amd64 x86 ~ppc"

I don't know what commit is the official gold release of 0.25, nor did I 
try/care to find out.


Raymond mentioned that he was likely going to replace the rebuild python 
script so there's a more automatic way to update again, but I couldn't 
tell you how soon that will come.
