From the portage man page:

"Files in this directory including make.conf, repos.conf, and any file
 with a name that begins with "package." can be more than just a flat file"

So yes, you can. Personally, I prefer separate files for each
configuration set, but you can use monolithic files if you consider
that simpler.
