   Create an overlay (eg in /usr/portage/local) and create ebuilds in it   
   for the packages you wish to control locally. If you are skilled enough   
   to locally install packages locally from source then creating ebuilds   
   (hint: copy the ebuilds from the official tree and make changes) for   
   your overlay should not be too difficult.
