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.
