This is a good idea yes. All the stuff is more a proof of concept for now
but this is an interesting approach but I only have one build server but
this evolve in some times. Using portage profile can be eas with own
overlay.

I also have many patched ebuilds but I try to report them in gentoo
bugzilla to keep things maintained and so people can benefit.

Why not using epatch_user in a generic (profile or bashrc) post_src_prepare() ?

function post_src_prepare()
{
  function inherit() { : ; }

	. ${PORTDIR}/eclass/eutils
}
