I made the modifications for AVAHI_SOCKET and AVAHI_RUNTIME_DIR (using config.h)
and also modifyed avahai/simple-protocol.c to use AVAHI_SOCKET instead
of UNIX_SOCKET.

about gentoo and /var/lib/run, i think that if portage explicitely
define --localstatedir=/var/lib , there must be a reason (the default
value is /var)
I could easily detect that's the distro is gentoo and use /var/run,
but i'm not sure it's the right thing to do. We should investigate how
other ebuild do this, dbus or hal ebuild for example.
