nonsense - of course you're able to maintain your own $BINHOST which
compiles the packages (--buildpkg[only]) and have other servers in your
farm that have the same $arch and USE-flags and use "emerge
--{get,use}binpkg .." on them
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=3#doc_chap4
then actually you only need "tar" and "b[un]zip2" on the target.
remark: add those keys to $FEATURES in /etc/make.conf and tweak the
servers' repository links to your local buildhost(s) and Portage
mirrors...
Works like charm here - I've got a central host here to build all packages
for identically configured cluster hosts that (e)merge the pre-built
packages. It's quite a time saver
