Set compatible CFLAGS etc. on B and emerge --buildpkgonly nfs-utils. Then copy the package from $PKGDIR/All/nfs-utils-* to A using sneakernet and unpack it into /. Then mount /usr/portage and emerge nfs-utils to make sure it is installed properly. Alternative, and less kludgy, solution. Tar up /usr/portage on B, unpack it on A. This reminds me of why I let each machine have its own portage tree and run a local rsync mirror :) -- Neil Bothwick Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy.
