Well there's not just one package you need to merge to get the phone 
working. There are actually a few more choices you have to make before 
you can even think of getting gentoo on the phone.

1. Do you want to cross-compile or compile natively? Both have pro and 
cons, i personally use the cross-compilation path but i know some ppl 
that are compiling natively on the phone
2. glibc or something smaller like uclibc or even dietlibc?
3. What de/wm do you want to use? lxde? e17? kde? Just like everything 
else concerning gentoo you have a ton of choices and possibilities
4. What gui do you want to use for phone-related tasks? shr-stuff? zone? 
Or even something else? At the moment we're only supporting 
fso-framework for the more low-level stuff and shr or zhone for the 
frontend. There are other possibilities tho (hackable1 is something that 
comes to my mind almost instantly, or qtopia).
5. probably some more stuff but i think that these are the most 
important things to think about

I've attached a list of packages i've currently installed on the phone. 
Keep in mind that you probably need some more/other stuff but it should 
get you started!
