Terminal ScreenSaver (or tss for short) is an attempt to clone and enhance FreeBSD's daemon saver.
Could you attach an ebuild for review? It'll speed up the process of getting tss into Portage, as it's much quicker for a developer to look at an ebuild (even a badly written one) and correct it than it it for a developer to write one from scratch. If you've never written an ebuild before, /usr/portage/skel.ebuild is an empty ebuild for you to adapt. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 is the guide to writing ebuilds, and http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=3 will help you avoid the most common mistakes.
