Is there an "offifial Gentoo method" for syncing installed packages on two
machines?
       

The simplest way is to use NFS and simply mount /usr/portage on the host 
machine from the others. It works well here on a network of 6 machines.

Alternatively, you can use rsync. There is a how-to somewhere on the 
Gentoo website.
     

This is what I do.
1. echo 'GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://129.253.108.99/sync/";' >> /etc/make.conf
2. Set up Apache so that it serves the portage distfiles (actually)
3. Set up a Rsync cron job or something that just polls this box. No
need to for a how to.
   

 I don't think I made myself clear enough.  I do *NOT* want to
duplicate /portage/distfiles.  I want to duplicate machine A's definition
of "world" on Machine B.
 

try:
# emerge -uDpv --newuse --noreplace $WORLD_OF_PIII
this should both keep updated your machine and emerge all the packages 
not present.
The --noreplace is needed to not force portage recompile a package 
already present.
