Hi! I'm a long-time Gentoo developer (amongst other Gentoo roles) and
one of the early folk to try packaging OpenSRF/Evergreen (I think I put
in the first work circa 2008). You can find a very outdated
dev-libs/OpenSRF package in the official tree, that should provide you
with a starting point.

I spent a few years working for the BC Libraries Cooperative 2011-2015,
but therein it was custom packages of Evergreen deployed on Ubuntu. 

I only got OpenSRF packaged (along with all the perl deps), and not the
rest of Evergreen, because Gentoo was just too bleeding edge to get a
reliably working Evergreen.  Erlang/ejabberd was the main source of
trouble and the writing was already on the wall for XULRunner.

I can collaborate with you to get them pushed into the official Gentoo
tree with you as a Gentoo proxy maintainer (probably best to start as an
package overlay).
