exactly that. it adds another source of PORTDIR_OVERLAY variables to
the main make.conf, which with the default settings will
be /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf
I didn't like that location and changed it in layman's config to
/usr/local/overlays/layman on my system.
see http://projects.gunnarwrobel.de/scripts/wiki/layman for details
(i'll add that to the wiki)
