Thanks for the clarification. I think that portage itself should be as 
location independent as possible ( one fixed location will be necessary to 
tell portage where to find the rest, but this location could be specified 
optionally by an environment variable). Allthough I'm not responsible for 
portage I encourage you to submit any patches to the extend of making portage 
even more location independent.
