You can do it through bashrc. But then, if this is about working around Portage's annoying lack of sane cross compile handling, why not put a little effort into fixing it properly rather than a lot of effort into making the tree more complicated?
Err, I think you're mixing up different things. How should portage be able to do sane cross compiling if you control the instruction sets through use flags which are blocked in profiles the build system is using? In fact, moving away from use flags over to the real(TM) solution is a step towards fixing the issue. Also, it doesn't make the tree more complicated. It is far more intuitive that supported instruction sets are used if the user doesn't explicitly wish not to than having some strange use flags that don't mean what they're named like.
