Beside the already mentioned ones:

Check and clean the portage logs, can be done with
elogv

Update the packets config files, can be done with
cfg-update -u

Clean up old source files (saves some space, but deletes
old unused sources)
eclean-dist -d -p

Check for Gentoo Linux Security Advices
glsa-check -t all

Have a look at the Gentoo management news
eselect news list
