Is there some automated way to remove the packages I created with 
'quickpkg' and reside inside /usr/portage/packages without doing it by 
hand?  I don't mean 'eclean'.  That won't remove those that are installed.

You want to get rid of ALL of them?

rm -rf /usr/portage/packages/*

If that's safe, then I guess that'll do :P

Even rm -fr /usr/portage/packages is safe.

If you want to do it selectively, remove the tbz2 files from ${PKGDIR}/
All then use symlinks (or find) to get rid of the dangling links this
leaves.
