at any arb point in time:
if (no instance of emerge running)
then
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/*
endif
Keeping that stuff is pointless unless you are working on a failed ebuild. In
which case you won't run rm just yet. emerge nukes it anyway on the next
emerge of that package.
ebuild itself doesn't nuke it, but you really shouldn't be running ebuild
directly unless you are dev'ing something. To no need to ever keep that tmp
stuff around

uptime
19:44:45 up 2:39, 12 users, load average: 0.31, 0.19, 0.18
there is no need to keep the box running while I am at work...
