I installed one hardened amd64 system on Feb 25 and have these settings:

total 2160
drwxrwsr-x 2 portage portage 40960 Jun 24 00:31 .
drwxrws--- 3 portage portage  4096 Feb 15 21:29 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage   114 Apr 20 08:05 ::20120420-150555.log

Then another on Mar 29 and have these settings:

total 936
drwxrws--- 2 portage root    20480 Jun 24 03:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root    root     4096 Mar 29 21:54 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 portage root      271 Mar 30 22:41 app-admin:logrotate-...

Unfortunately I can't think of any difference between when I set up
the two systems that would cause this.  At least, it's not a
consistent change.  For me, I at least want group=portage on
/var/log/portage/elog so my user in the portage group can read these.
The world permissions can go though :).
