Thanks. I'll look into these. Right after I hastily posted this, after
searching the Gentoo forums, I found this page: 
http://www.physics.wustl.edu/~alford/japanese_latex.html
It seems a bit out of date, but provides a lot of good info. One problem
is the CJK package requires a newer latex than Gentoo provides (when
will they come out with an ebuild for tetex 2.0.1?). There are some
other inconsistencies, but I'm working on it.
