That works fine UNTIL a package is removed from the portage tree, then
you have to go and try to get it (and the various others that went with
it) back using the cvsweb interface - lots of fun I can tell you.

There was some mention a month or so ago about tagging the cvs tree, but
it seems to have been lost in the hype over 1.4 release. Maybe someday??
