I just made one this morning...  It works on my system, but is not fully 
tested.

Download the ebuild from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57275

To use it as a gentoo overlay:

1. Edit /etc/make.conf and make sure you have a line: 
"PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage"
2. mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/mail-filter/spamass-milter
3. cp -r /usr/portage/mail-filter/spamass-milter 
/usr/local/portage/mail-filter/spamass-milter
4. Copy the ebuild from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57275 
into /usr/local/portage/mail-filter/spamass-milter

Now if you do "emerge -puv spamass-milter" you should see 
"spamass-milter-0.2.0-r1"

When you emerge it, it will checkout the files from CVS, do the autoconf 
stuff, and then build and merge it as usual.

Let me know if it works or not.
