Hi Hung,

First you need to install layman:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml


Then add the "enlightenment" overlay:

# layman -a enlightenment

Then update it:

# layman -s enlightenment
# eix-sync metadata

If you try to emerge the following packages it will warn you about missing 
keywords:

emerge -uaDv dev-libs/ecore dev-libs/e_dbus dev-libs/eet dev-libs/eina dev-
libs/embryo dev-libs/efreet media-libs/edje media-libs/ethumb media-libs/evas 
x11-wm/enlightenment media-libs/emotion dev-libs/eeze

So for each one of them you'll need to add the 9999 ** keyword in your 
/etc/portage/package/keywords like so:

=dev-libs/ecore-9999 **

Then run emerge again and unless I have forgotten something you should be good 
to go.

HTH.

PS.  You may want to create a separate subdirectory of 
/etc/portage/package/keywords/enlightenment.keywords so that you do not lose 
count with all the different keywords between packages and overlays.
