Well osx's sed is just posix sed, exactly the same of bsd sed.
We depends on gsed for things which, imho, could be done using posix sed.
Mainly the position of -i param, or the douple -e (which could be merged into 
a single expression).
Probably both osx sed and bsd sed could be used without a bit of a trouble for 
portage purposes, with some tweaks here and there.
