It is also because the portage tree is reiserfs and distfiles ext4.
Actually, it is like it :
/usr
/portage -> reiserfs | both shared through nfs
/distfiles -> ext4 |
/usr
/portage/distfiles | acces on an nfs
When you mount a filesystem B inside an other one A and share the root A
through nfs, it seems you acces (from nfs clients) to the A and the directory
under which is mounted B, but not B itself.
Do you understand me ?
