As with ALL packages managed distros you will break dependency when you don't
use the package manger to install packages.

You need to build your own ebuilds which you place in the PORTDIR_OVERLAY.
There are two ways to do CVS-ebuilds
1. hardcoded to a version and this is the most common way they are offered
2. dynamical versions, download the source directly from the CVS and compile
those, there are a bunch of those in the portage tree so check cvs-ebuilds for
guidelines.

If you are testing new features in PHP and Apache, I do highly recommend you
do make ebuilds and submit those to the gentoo bugzilla and in that way
contribute to Gentoo and it's users.
