The gentoo doc has some informations about ebuilds, this is the no explainations walk-through:

# cd /usr/portage/net-wireless/broadcom-sta
# wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=258047 -O broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38.ebuild
# wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=258049 -O files/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38-gcc.patch
# ebuild broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38.ebuild digest
# echo net-wireless/broadcom-sta ~* >> /etc/portage/packages.keyword
# emerge broadcom-sta-5.100.82.38.ebuild
