the fix with my little gentoo experience can be very easy and short. Simply 
add a new line to cdrkit ebuild:

from:

cat cdrkit-1.1.5.1.ebuild | grep dosym
        dosym /usr/bin/wodim /usr/bin/cdrecord
        dosym /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/mkisofs
        dosym /usr/bin/icedax /usr/bin/cdda2wav
        dosym /usr/bin/readom /usr/bin/readcd
        dosym /usr/include/scsilib/usal /usr/include/scsilib/scg

to:

cat cdrkit-1.1.5.1.ebuild | grep dosym
        dosym /usr/bin/wodim /usr/bin/cdrecord
        dosym /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/mkisofs
        dosym /usr/bin/icedax /usr/bin/cdda2wav
        dosym /usr/bin/readom /usr/bin/readcd
        dosym /usr/include/scsilib/usal /usr/include/scsilib/scg
        dosym /usr/share/man/man1/genisoimage.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/mkisofs.1.bz2

easy to do it because 'mkisofs.1.bz2' can not be here from another package, 
cdrtools and cdrkit is 'mutualy exclusive'

from 'http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177220' i see that gentoo 
reaction was a little to strong for my taste ... but is real life not 
romance, can live with that ... as is bug report marked, "worksforme" but is 
closed ... maybe you can step in a clarify a little more here ... i'm not so 
rude to try to reopen a closed bug report .. especially when i see it only as 
an enhancement issue ...

sabayon linux use only a thin overlay of specific customization, has exactly 
this name 'sabayon overlay', the rest of it is pure gentoo with all portage 
strength, so when changes will apear in gentoo portage, is only a matter 
of 'emerge --sync' to have all changes back in sabayon linux ...
