I was thinking about doing it myself but couldn't find the time so far, so I am interested.

It's very easy, you may want to take a look at the cvs eclass or at some *-cvs ebuild for some other package in the portage tree but shortly:

inherit cvs
ECVS_USER="anonymous"
ECVS_SERVER="cvs.example.com:/cvsroot"
ECVS_MODULE="mymodule"
ECVS_CVS_OPTIONS="-dP"
S=${WORKDIR}/${ECVS_MODULE}
SRC_URI=""

That's what current (now obsoleted) ebuilds for rasqal and redland do for their dependencies, doesn't seem to be a Bad Thing in itself, the main "issue" of course will be, as you noted:

but I guess this is fine for people willing to try the latest and greatest code.

Thanks, ciao
