I don't know if this is the recommended way of doing things but you can use:
ebuild [filename] fetch
ebuild [filename] unpack
(where filename is the full filename including path to the ebuild file)
to retrieve and unpack the source to /var/tmp/portage/[ebuild
name]/work, you can then apply any patches, then
ebuild [filename] compile
ebuild [filename] install
ebuild [filename] qmerge
to complete the process.
