The balsa-1.3.5-r1 ebuild fails to patch the source because it tries to use the balsa-1.3.5.patch instead of the balsa-1.3.5-r1.patch. The solution is either to rename the diff or use ${PF} instead of ${P} in line 30: patch -p0 < ${FILESDIR}/${PF}.diff
The ebuild still has some problems. It seems that "make install" attempts to write outside the sandbox: /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /etc/sound/events /bin/install -c -m 644 ./balsa.soundlist /etc/sound/events/balsa.soundlist ACCESS DENIED unlink: /etc/sound/events/balsa.soundlist /bin/install: cannot remove `/etc/sound/events/balsa.soundlist': Permission denied /bin/install -c -m 644 ./email.soundlist /etc/sound/events/email.soundlist ACCESS DENIED unlink: /etc/sound/events/email.soundlist /bin/install: cannot remove `/etc/sound/events/email.soundlist': Permission denied make[2]: *** [install-soundlistDATA] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/balsa-1.3.5-r1/work/balsa-1.3.5/sounds' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/balsa-1.3.5-r1/work/balsa-1.3.5/sounds' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 !!!

To eliminate the access violation it's necessary to add gnomeconfdir=${D}/etc to the "make install" line, i.e., it should be make \ prefix=${D}/usr \ mandir=${D}/usr/share/man \ gnomeconfdir=${D}/etc \ gnomedatadir=${D}/usr/share install || die "make install failed"
Thanks for catching and fixing this :)
