I don't agree that we should create a gentoo root directory; however,
to be technical, /usr/portage is wrong.
I will list what My thoughts would be below your suggestions. Keep in
mind that this is just being thrown out there without thinking about the
details all that much.
20K /gentoo/tmp
Maybe /tmp?
20K /gentoo/overlays
This isn't on everyones system, so I think it is up to the user and what
you are putting in it. Maybe /var/cache/portage/overlays?
639M/gentoo/portage
/var/cache/portage/gentoo-portage
3.1G/gentoo/distfiles
/var/cache/portage/distfiles?
4.1M/gentoo/var/log
/var/log/portage? They are logs so they should go where all other logs
are.
36K /gentoo/var/lib/portage
/var/lib/portage is ok for this I think.
43M /gentoo/var/db/pkg
/var/db/pkg is fine for this I think.
940K/gentoo/var/cache/edb
Maybe /var/cache/portage/edb?
2.7M/gentoo/packages
/var/cache/portage/packages?
What do you think?

/var/tmp was there for a reason. On all my systems /tmp is tmpfs, and
it is not suitable for larger builds.

I personally use ${PORTDIR}/local, to keep it in the same fs as
portdir (same file formats).
639M/gentoo/portage
/var/cache/portage/gentoo-portage
Doesn't fit in the definition nicely. It's more like read-only dir,
fitting /usr well.
3.1G/gentoo/distfiles
/var/cache/portage/distfiles?
+1.
4.1M/gentoo/var/log
/var/log/portage? They are logs so they should go where all other logs
are.
And that's where they go. I don't see why are you referring to a random
stupid idea instead of the current state.
2.7M/gentoo/packages
/var/cache/portage/packages?
This one depends on a particular config, I guess. Sometimes people just
'cache' binpkgs, sometimes they serve 'em.

That was exactly my point in one of my mails in the /usr-Thread.
I disagree with introducing a non-FHS dir on the rootfs,

20K /gentoo/tmp

Depends on which kind of tmp data this is. Should it survive a
system reboot? If yes /var/tmp is better.
I agree with the rest.
