I've added recently an eshell implementation for su and sudo, using
Tramp. This requires to run bash, indeed.

In order to keep your original behaviour, you shall call

,----
| *sudo emerge -av somepackage

Escaping a command with "*" is eshell's syntax to apply the real command,
instead of its emulation.

Best regards, Michael.
