You can mount the remote filesystems over nfs and then set ROOT=/mnt/remote to
make the portage on the original system install stuff on the remote one. This
method also has its problems of course. Last time I tried it -- I had lots of
trouble with for example mplayer autodetecting some libraries on the compiling
computer that are not installed on the slow host that I was compiling for. Even
emerge -p was failing because the version of glibc on the compiling system was
older (only by a release) than the one on the remote system.

Another thing I tried -- mount the remote filesystems with full permissions,
chroot over there and start compiling. You may want to "mount -o bind
/var/tmp/portage /mnt/remote/var/tmp/portage" and also do the same with
/usr/portage. I of course assume that programs compiled on the slow machine
would run on the fast one as well (and this is usually the case).
