How do install use non-gentoo sources?

How do install use non-Gentoo sources? Especially if I have a lot of these. Is there way to get ¨emerge¨ to use these sources 1st before going to a Gentoo mirror?

Put this into your overlay then emerge homebrew-sources.

You will need to download the linux kernel files yourself, of course.

Into your Portage overlay directory.

Set the directory by editing PORTDIR_OVERLAY in make.conf. For example, if you want to use /usr/localportage for your overlay, this command will suffice:
