Basically Gentoo doesn't use RPM as package manager, but builds packages
from sources using portage/emerge stuff. So it is nice that it builds
somehow. As another workaround rpm2targz probably can be used too. Of
course better would be to have native *.ebuild files.

I'm using Gentoo as my workstation, don't do RPMs there however.
