That got me thinking about portage rsync'ing in general.  Is it/would
it be possible to rsync a subset of the portage tree based on
keywords? IE, only rsync things to my local gentoo server if they're
keyworded "~x86" or "x86" or "sparc", for example.  That would be a
cool feature if there were a clean way to implement it.  Reduce
syncing time and bandwidth usage on rsync mirrors.

I've always wanted it to be like portage, just in a secondary package
manager role...including both fink/dp-type functionality PLUS cool
stuff like building anything for OSX from source.  Of course, I also
want my powerbook to project holograms and absorb laser blasts, so
take that for what it's worth.
