It's not supposed to give you everything; only what you need. You set
up your USE flags accordingly.

You can get  most TeXLive related packages (maybe all, I don't know) with:

USE="X cjk context detex dvi2tty epspdf extra games graphics
humanities jadetex luatex metapost music omega pdfannotextractor png
pstricks publishers science tex4ht texi2html truetype xetex xindy xml"
emerge app-text/texlive

or adding the USE flags to /etc/portage/package.use. But you probably
don't need all of that.

Several packages in the TeXLive distribution are merged, splitted or
replaced. That's why you get blocks; perhaps you could try:

emerge -auqDN *te*/*texlive*2014*

But, again, probably you don't want that either, and there will be
other conflicts with -r1 versions. You can also search with ebuilds
with the same slot, and emerge those.

But really, you should set your USE flags and install app-text/texlive.

Regards.
