1. If dev-java/blackdown-jre is merged after the jdk, ant emerge will fail like
this:
---start---
root@gamma aeoo # emerge dev-java/ant          
Calculating dependencies. done!
>>> emerge dev-java/ant-1.4.1-r1 to /
>>> md5 ;-) jakarta-ant-1.4.1-src.tar.gz

---end---

What's interesting is that this failure is not even noticed by portage, and
portage thinks that ant was installed successfully.  If I unmerge jre, it will
remove /etc/env.d/20java.

---start---
CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config
/usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config"
---end---

Using: sys-apps/portage-1.8.6-r1

Everything works perfectly if I simply emerge jdk and then ant.

Try remerging your JDK. The old JDK/JRE scheme had a flaw with which path took
precedence
