Your OS X lead is still working on pathspec. More about it in the near
future on my blog: http://metadistribution.org/blog/

February has only got 28 days ;-)

yes I am. I will be blogging about it this week and post a link here.

Excellent! I'll be keeping track of that, then.

Since you're working on pathspec, any ideas on how to keyword (or
otherwise differentiate) between pathspec-only ebuilds and
not-so-pathspec-only ebuilds? I'm working under the impression will
want to have both /-installable and pathspec-installable packages (I.E.
we want to support people who want to install everything to / except
things that have collisions with apple software. Perhapse having
portage automatically install something using pathspec when it finds
collisions would be something to look into?)

I knew there was a reason we had someone smart like you working on
pathspec and suchnot. Teaches me to get little sleep. :)

Given enough metadata in the ebuild, that would be possible. This will require
some changing to the "plan execution" part, more specifically to linking. There's
a paper on package views implemented for pkgsrc that is relevant to this problem.
It's in my bibliography (will be online and browseable))

I'll post a link here if relevant content is published. Meanwhile see
the threads to gentoo-portage-dev.
