I see you've got an @g.o address and are in the sci herd. Why don't you add it yourself? Might want to drop the redundant ${S} first.

This is a mayavi 1.4 ebuild. Also see the vtk ebuild

Mayavi-1.4 ebuild

Added the doc and exemples to my original post

Works for 1.5 as well, just change dev-libs/vtk to sci-libs/vtk and 
1.4 to 1.5. But vtk must have been compiled with USE="patented". Brr...

mayavi-1.5.ebuild

Here's my ebuild with some changes.  It has more correct handling of tk support in python (using built_with_use).  I have some questions:
  1)  does vtk need to be built with tcl and tk support?
  2)  as comment #5 states, does vtk need to be build with 'patented'?  Can you provide a reference?

Assuming 1 and 2 are true, there is another built_with_use check that should be uncommented in my ebuild.

mayavi-1.5.ebuild

new version, I tested vtk and at least the tk USE flag is actually necessary to built/use mayavi so I added a built_with_use for tk and tcl.  Still not sure about the patented part of vtk so I added a ewarn during pkg_post_inst.

mayavi-1.5-r1.ebuild (respect tcl flag)

actually tcl is not required for proper function of mayavi, USE flag vtk also, I deleted dependancies and compiled successfully with -tcl flag. at least examples work.
