You will need the following packages:

• ogre
• boost
• bullet
• openal
• freealut
• libogg
• libvorbis
• zlib
• libpng
• ois
• subversion

Some of these may already be installed and you may not need to emerge all of these:

emerge ogre boost bullet openal freealut libogg libvorbis zlib libpng ois subversion -a

Get the current build:

svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeorion/code/trunk/FreeOrion/ freeorion

Compile: (You should already be in the freeorion directory at this point, if not switch to that first)

cmake .
make

sed -i 's#PluginFolder=\.#PluginFolder=/usr/lib/OGRE/#' ogre_plugins.cfg

Enjoy.

No guarantees, but it worked for me anyways thought it might help someone else out.
