Personally I'd go with something similar to what sabotage has.  I have not
used gentoo in years and I have no idea what their build system looks like
these days.

I have a very simple build system for my distro which I use mainly for testing
things out at http://git.2f30.org/morpheus/tree/

This design does not scale, however, sabotage's build system might be
a good place to start.
