Okay, I wrote a small patch that handles everything supported by /etc/portage except bashrc (package.mask, package.unmask, package.keywords, package.use, mirrors, categories).  I tested it by moving /etc/portage/package* into /etc/portage/includes/test/ and it seems to have behaved expectedly.  Feedback is welcome and appreciated. ;)
