    emerge takes care of everything and compiles from source unless you do emerge -k <pkg_name> then if there is a bin available it will use it but there is no real reason to do that since emerge dose the install for you unless you want it a bit faster than compiling from source

    i think you can install dpkg and yum on the system
    it is all gnu/linux
    but no need
    cause emerge is freeeeking powerful
