We're drifting here, but the concept is that machine-local stuff like
configuration stays out of /usr, and generic distro stuff stays in
/usr.
A webserver for site1 vs site2 would be identical in /usr, but
different elsewhere.
However, that whole approach makes less sense for a distro that prides
itself on you being able to make every installation unique. That
said, if you do want to make a whole bunch of Gentoo installs the same
then sticking everything important in /usr and network mounting it is
a good way to accomplish it.
