No problem with that. Just download them somewhere else and copy them over to
the machine into the "/usr/portage/distfiles" directory. You could even use
"emerge --buildpkg" on another machine to build binary packages for another
machine. Stick them into "/usr/portage/packages/All" and use --usepkg on
emerging. (Dunno if thats the syntax with new portage I'm still on rc6 but as
you have unix experience you should be able to figure that out :))
