The quickest solution I can see would be to Emerge the RPM tools and use
the redhat package, XFree is in generally the same place on Redhat and
Gentoo, but there is no absolute guarantee that this would work. I'll
have a look at the possibility of making an ebuild for the Kyro/KyroII
driver, but it rather depends on the lisence they are released under.

Thanks,
