I am totally unfamiliar with pkg-config, so that would take some time or a
helping hand.

It still has 3 unstable KEYWORDS including mips.

Are there any initial values it should get?

There is currently no documentation for the actual code version.
In short, there are those changes:
1. ability to run phases multiple times in ebuild.sh:
change from
...
dyn_unpack()
src_unpack
dyn_compile()
src_compile
dyn_install()
src_install
...
to basicly
...
dyn_unpack()
for each ABI
call set_abi
create ABI workdir
set ABI envronment variables
call src_unpack
dyn_compile()
for each ABI
call set_abi
use workdir for current ABI
set ABI environment variables
call src_compile
dyn_install()
for each ABI
call set_abi
use workdir for current ABI
set ABI environment variables
call src_install
call _finalize_abi_install
create gentoo-multilib headers (if needed)
...
2. Adding the internal lib32 useflag and usedeps with some workarounds
3. Added bin/auto-multilib.sh, which contains most functions, merged together
from the older version
kanaka presented ( => http://dev.gentoo.org/~kanaka/auto-multilib/) and the
multilib-native.eclass
from master branch of multilib overlay.
