Make a sed link / copy / script / whatever in an alternative location, and put it in the portage path before /bin. That should solve all these kinds of problems. In general it might make sense to have such a directory for portage. Another candidate would be the strip binary which might be called by certain makefiles instead of being portage controlled.
