I would recommend that you read / familiarize yourself with creating 
your own repo that can be used beside the Gentoo repo.

That way you can integrate your own packages into the Gentoo emerge 
ecosystem via your own repo.

You can also copy ebuilds for versions of things that you want from the 
Gentoo repo to your repo as oldest things do eventually get cleaned up 
out of the Gentoo repo.  But if you have a copy of the desired ebuild in 
your own repo, you'll always have it.
