you can edit the ebuild for the app that you are trying to emerge.

Yes, goto the directory that holds the ebuild in question, open it up and look for the src_compile function. Ebuilds differ to how they manage configure (some use econf, some parse with emake). It should be pretty easy to figure out as most ebuilds have a --prefix=/usr in there, so jus copy its syntax and you will be fine.
Any problems, then let us know which ebuild and what flags you want to append. |

| Devs, any chance of something like "emerge app -config "--prefix=/usr"" type thing happening in the future? |

Actually, this should already work for ebuilds that use "econf":
| Code: | | EXTRA_ECONF="--prefix=/usr" emerge app |

| Code: | | find /usr/portage/ -name "app*.ebuild" | xargs grep -n "econf" |
Usually looks like "econf || die" or "econf ${myconf} || die".

You can do that, but I prefer the analytic way 
Edit: Oh, just in case you mean "emerge -p", that doesn't tell you configure options. As far as I know. |
