You don't need to use symlinks, you can simply set PORTAGE_TMPDIR in 
your make.conf.

Whatever you use, symlink or PORTAGE_TMPDIR, should not include the 
"portage" directory.  You need to redefine only the "/var/tmp" part, and 
portage will create a "portage" directory inside it.

For example PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/mnt/tmp".

You don't need symlinks, set PKGDIR and DISTDIR.
