May be 'yes' but it's kind of security measure - so while compiling if
anything breaks you'll get an user shell not a root one (just guessing).

Could do the compilation in src|work directory in your HOME dir.
Or use step-by-step install:
ebuild /path/to/ebuild unpack|compile|install|qmerge|clean
check 'man ebuild' etc.
