Create a local tree with all that portage (and layman would need).
There is an example in euscanwww/scripts/local-tree/. See escan-update.sh
to know what env variables you need to run any portage related command in
this local tree.

Blacklists
----------
euscan uses blacklist for multiple purposes.
### BLACKLIST_VERSIONS
BLACKLIST_VERSIONS
For versions that should not be checked at all. sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.4
is good example because it's a package which version will always be 3.4
(Compatibility package for running binaries linked against a pre gcc 3.4 libstdc++).

is good example because it's a package which version will always be 3.4
(Compatibility package for running binaries linked against a pre gcc 3.4 libstdc++).
BLACKLIST_PACKAGES
Some packages are dead, but SRC_URI refers to sources that are still being
updated, for example: sys-kernel/xbox-sources that uses the same sources as
vanilla-sources but is not updated the same way.
SCANDIR_BLACKLIST_URLS
For urls that are not browsable. mirror://gentoo/ is a good example: it's
both stupid to scan it and very long/expensive.
### BLACKLIST_PACKAGES
BRUTEFORCE_BLACKLIST_PACKAGES and BRUTEFORCE_BLACKLIST_URLS
Disable brute force on those packages and urls. Most of the time it's because
upstream is broken and will answer HTTP 200 even if the file doesn't exist.
