One day before I wanted to try out, I found the ebuild for installing it
out of portage. Now I've got the newest ldc2 from git and the comfort of
my packagemanager.
If there is any error in git-sources, portage will find out during
compile and won't replace the installed version.

With the complete infos to dmd-installation, I'll try to create a new
dmd2.ebuild for installation out of git now. I'll post it, when it is ready.
