The devmanual is a good place to start. If you use IRC then
#gentoo-dev-help at freenode is a good place to get more help...
Also, search Bugzilla and the forums, someone may have already created
ebuilds for these programs.
Also look at ebuilds for similar programs. Write an ebuild, its not that
difficult in a simple case.
With an ebuild, it is much easier to uninstall and upgrade packages.
