Unless you tell portage to fetch binpkgs it won't fetch one from Gentoo. Until very recently Gentoo didn't even offer them.

Unless you're short on space I recommend leaving it set. Being able to re-install from a binary package can be handy if somehow a package gets corrupted. It doesn't require a working toolchain/etc, and of course is faster, and gives you the exact same result as rebuilding from source assuming you haven't changed the underlying dependencies, USE flags, etc. Portage won't actually use a binary package unless you tell it to with --usepkg(only) (-k/K). Most common use cases for this are when you want to either use upstream binaries, or build your own to stage or deploy en-masse. I build binpkgs with a cron job overnight and then when I review the packages to be installed I can skip most of the build time by using --usepkg - I get the exact same result as building them after I review the packages to be installed, since these are all built with my settings anyway. -- Rich
