It is also because the portage tree is reiserfs and distfiles ext4.

Actually, it is like it :

/usr
	/portage	-> reiserfs		| both shared through nfs
			/distfiles	-> ext4	|

/usr
	/portage/distfiles			| acces on an nfs

When you mount a filesystem B inside an other one A and share the root A 
through nfs, it seems you acces (from nfs clients) to the A and the directory 
under which is mounted B, but not B itself.

Do you understand me ?
