Sorry I always I leave something important out.... Yes this is an ebuild
I'm testing. And no it isn't in the portage repository either.

I like the idea of sandbox as I don't trust the program (or any program)
to be 100% correct (especially in an alpha release). 

Is this a bug in portage I don't think so. Maybe sandbox may have to
make exceptions for TeX, or is there a way for TeX to all of these
metafonts (if thats what its trying to create ??) when you emerge TeX.
