I am familiar with SAGE_ATLAS_LIB but it doesn't work on gentoo because we have at least one non-conventional name - someone decided we should have libblas instead of libf77blas - that's just a link away and I have done that on occasion. The problem will get worse in the future because the infrastructure to get several BLAS installed at the same time messes up the usual names even more. It works fine with gentoo ebuilds which are required to use the provided pkg-config set up and your occasional out of tree package. Not so much with an automated system like sage is using. This is not a sage problem but a gentoo problem. I possibly could provide instructions for a gentoo user looking at using their system ATLAS but that's not a problem that the spkg should solve.
