Possible, yes.
But even if that occurs, it really isn't a big deal. You'll just need
to copy the ebuild to your local overlay and preserve the distfiles.
Portage makes it really simple to manage packages outside of the main
portage tree. And if you have a problem with the ebuild, it is fairly
easy to find someone willing to help.
