Umm, It's been awhile since I changed to Gentoo, but would the standard 
way of enabling VIA support not be to add 'via' to the /etc/make.conf's 
  USE line? I would think that is what the above test was designed to check?

Doing it the way you have suggested will not survive an emerge sync if a 
new ebuild overwrites the old one.
