Maybe emerge knows to do this on the next run? I haven't tried this way, can someone confirm? One way that works is to uncomment the [gentoo-portage] entry in /etc/rsync.conf on your laptop, start rsyncd, then point your desktop to sync from your laptop with: SYNC="rsync://ip.of.laptop.here/gentoo-portage" in make.conf, and do an emerge --sync / eix-sync as normal.
