Thank you for the prompt and helpful answer. This is what I need to know.
It sounds like maybe I just need to wait until things stabilize a bit.
Is there any way I can help with testing? I'm not a coder, but I know
how to use a command line and follow directions. I wouldn't call myself
"c++ literate," but I can read it a little bit.
I have tried to make the kde-sunset overlay work a couple of times. The
most recent time I almost got kdelibs to compile successfully, but then
ran into an error involving cups and an include-file that wasn't
included. That's when I started looking at the tde overlays.
Thanks again.

Hello to all.
I've found this overlay:
https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay
How do I use it within Gentoo? I've installed layman and of course
"layman -L" doesn't show it. Can anyone tell me how to make its ebuilds
visible?
I've also tried downloading from this link:
https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay/zipball/master
and making a local overlay, but that didn't work -- only kde4 packages
showed up in emerge --search. It's possible I have something masked, but
I'd think if I had the overlay set up correctly, that they would show up
in the search, just marked as uninstallable.
I don't need the whole TDE desktop -- I only want to get kpdf and
gwenview working.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or explanations.
The Trinity situation on
Gentoo is . . . complicated.
First thing you need to know is that there is no complete Trinity overlay for Gentoo.
Serghei's is dated and incomplete, and no longer being worked on. The one that
Roman and I were working on (see
It ) is slightly less dated,
but also incomplete. I don't think gwenview is available from either overlay at
this
time. I can give a shot at making an ebuild, but I have a lot on my plate right now, so
it's going to be at least a week (assuming I can get it to work at all--we stalled
out due
to problems with the packages that were still using autotools to build). Neither
overlay
is part of the official listings, so layman doesn't have them.
You need to add either overlay locally by git-cloning or otherwise downloading it, then
adding it to PORTDIR_OVERLAY in make.conf. You should then be able to emerge
packages by explicitly specifying a version, e.g., for Serghei's overlay,
"emerge =kpdf-3.5.13_p1183307", or for Roman's and mine, "emerge
trinity-base/kpdf".
Adding kde-base/kde-libs:4 and allied packages to package.mask may or may not be
useful.
One last thing: if you're already using KDE3 from kde-sunset, system behaviour if
you install Trinity packages on top of it is undefined (which is to say that no
one's
tried it, but there's a good chance it will break something).
Hope that helps.
