He may can clean out the temp files too.  One that comes to mind first
is /var/tmp/portage.  Anything that failed to emerge is in there.  If he
has buildpkg in make.conf, then he may can clean out some of those too,
in /usr/portage/packages/All.  Let's not forget that some of the logs in
/var/log can have a bit of size to them too.  I'm assuming those are on
the same partition as root.

Hope some of this helps.  I have ran into this on a older machine myself.
