Now that PORTDIR is deprecated I wonder if there is any other
way to add an local overlay to emerge without adding it to /etc/portage/repos.conf ?

In crossdev you just specify the local file path to a repo/overlay where to
find ebuilds, add cross symlinks etc. but this will not work if not the local repo is listed in
repos.conf

Overlays were to go in PORTDIR_OVERLAY, that is still a valid option.

It does not have as many repository control options, but the code is
still present in portage.  Layman's code has changed it's default to
generate a repos.conf file.  But there has been no talk amongst
ourselves about fully deprecating the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable yet.
