>>> Installing (1 of 14) sys-boot/lilo-24.1::gentoo
 * One or more files installed to this package are set to be installed to
 * read-only filesystems. Please mount the following filesystems as read-
 * write and retry.
 * 
 *      /boot
 * 
 * Package 'sys-boot/lilo-24.1' NOT merged due to read-only file systems.
 * If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the
 * above message.

The package used to install because mount-boot.eclass detected the case and remounted it r/w in pkg_preinst().

Not saying it's sane thing to do, just pointing out it's broken now. Maybe it's a good pretext to get rid of insanities like this.
