Tried and tested system maintenance tool vs. home brewed modification of
critical files... I'd say a definite possibility of a yes.

Just let portage do what it was designed to do. Set up a build host,
which doesn't have to be your laptop, it can be a chroot on a desktop or
server. Set FEATURES=buildpkg on this, add usepkg to emerge default opts
on everything else and have them all use the same PKGDIR over NFS.
