You can install cypari2 on Gentoo and use
./configure --enable-system-site-packages
to use it (and many other Gentoo python packages). Only a handful of Sage's standard Python packages are missing on Gentoo (and all the standard non-python packages are available), so it's very quick to install this way.
In fact, you can bypass using ./configure entirely on Gentoo: install all the needed non-Python packages, and use a venv (e.g one using uv) to build Sage using pip, and run it there.
Anyway, the upgrade of cypari2 in Sage is ongoing work
