The only solution I can think of, is to merge to a "duplicate ROOTDIR"
like this (pseudo-code):
mount -o bind / /mnt/dup
ROOTDIR=/mnt/dup emerge {package}
Like this, mounts under / aren't mounted under /mnt/dup (e.g.
/mnt/dup/proc only contains .keep), so one can access the underlying
filesystem. Problem with this is: if you have /usr on a different
partition, you probably want to mount -o bind that as well, so you'll
have to make a distinction between mounts of instalation directories,
and mounts of run-time usage directories.
