It could be made simple, with no changes to portage, if this bandwidth
optimisation was encapsulated inside the download process....
If the uncompressed tar archives were made available for download from an
rsync server then we could replace wget with a wrapper script that chooses a
previously downloaded archive of an older version of the same package, and
uses rsync to transfer the differences.
A few years ago this project <http://rproxy.samba.org/> tried to integrate
exactly this process directly into the http protocol. It seems to be dead now
:-(
