Just a quick update.  It seems that this one may be quite easy.  To test it, I just copied the existing 6.5.3 ebuild to my local overlay and renamed it to the correct 6.5.4 version name.  Then I renamed (or actually, just symlinked) the 6.5.3 files in the files directory.  It upgraded perfectly and is currently running without any problems.  This is for amd64 arch.
