Thanks for all the advice, I managed to build both Terminal and
xfce-extra/exo with only one problem. (once I figured out how to
recreate the digest for the ebuilds ;) )

The problem is that one of the dependencies for exo is dbus - something
much more complicated than either of these two apps I'm trying to build
and again has no alpha keyword. I found bug number 86485 [1] which
suggests that exo can be built without dbus, and indeed thats exactly
what I did - removed the dbus depend in the exo ebuild and everything
emerges and works perfectly. So, my question is what to do about bug
#86485 - do I just add a comment about how this would be useful for
building Terminal on alpha?

Hopefully this will be my last post to the list on this topic, and
normal service will shortly resume!
