I'd put /home and /var on the SD card to start with, you may need to put /usr/src on there too or your SSD may fill up when installing or compiling a second or third kernel. I'd also move the portage tree there, but you can do that post-installation by moving /usr/portage to /var/portage and changing PORTDIR in make.conf.
