Build ncurses manually ("ebuild [package] unpack compile install").
Using ldd, find what libs the application needs, locate them in the
ncurses install directory and copy them somewhere handy. Use
"LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/lib/libname application" to preload the required
library before running your application. Lots on the net about
LD_PRELOAD if you need more.
