If you only have one architecture and one system type or one system that can be a superset of the others, nfs will serve you fine. If you have multiple architectures, the packages release at different times and sometimes different revs. For this http-replicator is a better choice. For example - I run x86, amd64, and power pc. Thus, need a broader spectrum of packages. Or if you run desktops and servers (different sets of software) and don't have a common set of USE flags - use say, lighttpd, php, and mysql on the server but not on the desktop. Or more likely, use postfix, sasl, tinydns, and procmail on the server, but not the desktop (assumes the desktop uses LDAP or POP). Then http-replicator would be a better choice.
