Hmm. My netbook's an Atom N270 also. But I use a build-image chroot on my main 6-core AMD bulldozer for building and just rsync over, and I only have ~800 packages installed, so I fortunately don't have the N270 speed issues to deal with for package resolution and build. But I've more or less decided to buy a new netbook level x86_64 one of these days and shelve the 32-bit-only N270, so I can use pretty much the same packages on both the workstation and the (new) netbook. Maybe then I'll actually keep the netbook current instead of letting it go a year or more between updates. It's just a matter of actually doing it.
