One thing that frequently gets me is /usr/src. Every version of the 
Linux kernel takes up something between 200 and 300 MB (more depending 
on how you formatted the underlying partition). So if you inadvertently 
have created a nice archive of kernel sources from the last two years in 
there, unmerge all the old ones. sys-kernel/gentoo-sources is a slotted 
install, so each update ADDS the new kernel sources and doesn't remove 
the old ones.
