nfs.  

I have been using nfs for portage and distfiles with much success
so far.  I find that nfs access for portage is only a little slower
than having it on a local, unoptimized partition.  I save lots of time
with this method, since my new hosts on the network have instant
portage trees without having to wait for that long portage extraction.
I mount /usr/portage read-only and then distfiles read-write over the
top so that I can save new downloads if I need to.
