The package_env feature takes some figuring out as it doesn't work fully out-of-the-box compared to the other resources this module provides.
I'd like to suggest some usability improvements:
Easy:
Make it clear in the documentation that you have to generate the /etc/portage/env and manage the environment files yourself, and link http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/env for clarity.
Harder:
Have the module build the env directory itself
Build a new provider/type specifically for environment management.
Just doing the easy step would have saved me a lot of time because I personally overestimated the module's capabilities (which have been otherwise fantastic).
