Finally! And, while we are at it, lets more distfiles out of portage. That is the only (prominent) dir inside that has drastically different storage requirements. Having portage on a separate partition requires now changing defaults, bind mounts or symlinks. It is better to have it done right from the onset then to workaround every time.
Oh, and +1 on /var/cache/portage for the location. George
