If you enable caching, you'll have to create '.cache' subdir (default
name) in every used repository.

AFAIK it shouldn't ask such a thing, prehaps you read it wrong?
All you need to do is to create a conf for /usr/portage and all the
overlays you have in /etc/paludis/repositories, one for each, plus one
for 'installed' repository at /var/db/pkg.
In fact, portage2paludis should've done it for you, but you better
check that every conf is correct, especially sync urls.

You only need the dirs, specified in respective conf.
gentoo.conf, created by po2pal script probably contains /usr/portage,
and there should be /var/db/pkg in installed.conf, so you should have
these already, but in order to use cache, you'll need to create
'.cache' subdirs inside.
