[olug] Running programs with nice

Is there a way to change the default nice value for a program?

I'm using gentoo and I'd like emerge (like yum or rpm) to always run 
with a nice level of 19. 

I can start it with `nice -n 19 emerge` but I'm lazy and want to just 
type `emerge` and have it run with a very low priority.

Thanks,
Tim
