Well, I did warn about the likelihood I was wrong :)  Pretty clever 
'cause that way even when I'm wrong (as turns out to have been the 
case), I'm still right :P

In all seriousness, if both of them are sourced, then could one get away 
with something like this?

/etc/make.conf:
source /etc/portage/make.conf

/etc/portage/make.conf:
if [[ __GENTOO_MAKE_CONF_ONCE == gotit ]] ; then
__GENTOO_MAKE_CONF_ONCE=gotit
.
.
.
endif

or are conditionals disallowed?  As Zac mentions, hopefully it's 
harmless to duplicate things, but, personally, I would worry about the 
effect of duplicates on performance, and also in PORTDIR_OVERLAY.  Plus, 
it just seems dirty.
