I assumed those modules should come in a lib package and not in the 
language package. But that's just me I guess..

Now with a v6 savvy python, things get further but still no dice:

Freevo 1.9.2-git started at Mon Sep  3 22:01:56 2012

Starting EPG server
failed to load plugin tv.generic_record

ImportError: No module named server.record_server

I must attest that I'm very unsure which modules from github I need. I 
currently have:
kaa-base  kaa-display  kaa-epg  kaa-imlib2  kaa-metadata  tvserver freevo1

I tossed in tvserver on chance given the errors above but it fails with:
# tvserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/tvserver-2.7", line 151, in <module>

     import kaa.xmlutils
ImportError: No module named xmlutils

Some googling suggests that kaa-base _should_ have an xmlutil in it but 
some digging in the git logs suggests that might not ever have been the 
case. Puzzled.... Is tvserver supposed to be part of the action these days?

Overall goal here is to revive the tv recording ability I had with 
1.9.2b2 prior to going all git.

I'm placing all the intel I dig up in the process in ebuilds in a gentoo 
overlay with the intention of making it public when it actually does the 
right thing, for the benefit of other gentoo freevoers. The lack of 
freevo releases made it disappear from gentoo official repos. I hop that 
can change sometime in the future...
