It's necessary to include portage in our python virtual environment if we plan to use the venv everywhere.

Currently, we have a number of packages that include it conditionally based on being inside the chroot or not. This is problematic in the first place, and breaks totally if the venv is used inside the chroot.

I'd like some solution that makes it available inside the venv, but would also like to keep in sync with the chroot version. I'm not certain of the best way to manage this.
