Taking a 7400 as an example, you would have five gates: four NANDs, and 
one that represents a box with just power symbols on it.  This is how 
I've seen it rendered in every other professionally done schematic I've 
ever seen.

To prevent the designer from forgetting about the power "gate," I would 
have it so that the power block is the *first* thing to be laid down 
into the schematic, not the last.  But I digress.
