It should be pretty easy to rsync /home to some other (temporary)
place, 'pvcreate /dev/home-whatever' and lvcreate, say, a
separate vol for portage (with it's ever-growing tree/distfiles) and
for /home, leaving plenty of space to play with, should you need it
either on these partitions or to create others.

Well, LVM is just what I mean ;)
