That isn't supported right now in Gentoo (although I have idea on how to achieve it I haven't done the perspiration yet to make it happen).
The best you can do with sage-on-gentoo is an equivalent of "sage -ba" which will rebuild your own install in full . And you cannot switch between clone of the tree. As for your suggestion about including a patch, it is easier than that: https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/pull/64 We had this for the last 9 months. It's not clone and sage -b but that's fairly cool nonetheless.
