I'll take the low hanging fruit: * dev-libs/collada-dom/files/take_snapshot.sh * sys-libs/libcxxrt/files/prepare_snapshot.sh Those two are completely trivial; clone a repo, rm -rf .git, tar it up. * sys-libs/libcxx/files/prepare_snapshot.sh This one's only marginally more complicated because it uses find/xargs to remove all ".svn" directories (why not use svn export?). It also appears unused, now that there are regular releases being made upstream. * sys-apps/superiotool/files/make-tarball.sh Another trivial three-liner; svn export and tar it up. * net-misc/ntp/files/man-pages/genmans.sh Generating man pages from HTML can be done in src_compile().
