The moderncv package included in dev-telive/texlive-latexextra-2007 is dated 2006/09/09. An announcement on comp.text.tex (see http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/6a4e0885b35ee734/bc74c986bf6c424e?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=moderncv#bc74c986bf6c424e ) indicates that a newer version was released and current version is date 2007-05-28 at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/ As a consequence the examples provided at CTAN do not compile cleanly and control sequences such as \moderncvtheme are not recognised (as they are called moderncvstyle in the older version thats currently pulled in by portage).

This is upstream packaging, nothing will be changed about it. If you want an up-to-date moderncv.sty, put it in your local TeXMF tree.

Just thought that given the availability if the newer version it might be possible to incorporate a patch of sorts. Happy to wait.
