Use Ctrl-Z instead and then in the morning use fg to restart it.  Just kidding.  Actually, when I had Software Suspend 2 setup on my computer I could leave emerge running through suspend to disk with no problems.

If you're really going to do a full shutdown though, I recommend Ctrl-C and then "FEATURES=keepwork emerge --resume" in the morning.  With keepwork portage won't clean up the builds automatically so you need to manually clean up PORTAGE_TMPDIR in order to reclaim diskspace.
