I have a similar setup, with one portage tree shared via NFS to several computers. I have also noticed some performance drawbacks. Usually, the first time I run a command like "emerge -av whatever" there is a noticable delay (20-30 seconds). However, subsequent invocations of emerge start-up normally.
