Hi,

   There are probably may ways to achieve this, but what I prefer is to create 
a portage tree in my home directory with my ebuilds. Something like
portage/distfiles/somepackage.tar.gz
portage/net-mail/qmail-hack/qmail-hack-1.0.ebuild
...

Then all I have to do is "tar xzf myports.tar.gz portage" and then I can 
distribute the tarball or extract it in my own portage tree. I don't care if 
an emerge --clean rsync deletes it since I can easily re-extract it later..
