the sword libs are actually installed in /usr/sword/1, but the text 
stuff is in /var/db/sword.  i'm not to particular where it's installed, 
but i was told that in gentoo, you can't touch /usr/local.  i'll check 
with the ebuild maintainer to see his reasons for putting this into 
/var/db and if there's a chance of moving it.

regardless, i thought bibletime would pick up the setting in 
/etc/sword.conf and use that...
