Huh. Why should somebody write a filesystem with Gentoo portage in mind?

See http://parallel.vub.ac.be/~johan/compFUSEd/, it's an overlay filesystem, 
so you're not bound to any specific real filesystem. OTOH, harddisks are 
cheap nowadays.

The same is true for reiser3.

Well, there are plenty: xfs, jfs, ...

ext4 is in early develoment, as are other new filesystems (btrfs for 
example), so no it isn't (yet, but probably sooner than reiser4).

If you're searching something that stores small files efficiently, like 
reiser3 does, btrfs comes close, if I remember right.
