The Portage PMS on it's next release would just do a 'mkdir

looking in both locations for packages.
(After looking at overlays, if /usr/portage exists, check there first,
if not found look in /var/cache/gentoo-repos/).
My preferred migration approach would be to change the default location
for new installs, and keep the existing location for existing installed
systems. I'd do that by automatically generating a config update for
make.conf, so that systems using the old defaults will continue to use them.
