If this is what you want then the user must be in the portage group. Now that
user may be able to install software in / due to a lack of knowledge of the
system. However they can do ROOT=/home/user emerge program and that will
install it into their home directory. However if they have the power to do
this, they have the power to accidentally install into /. Pick your poison
here.
