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.

I recommend that you put $DISTDIR (and $PORTAGE_TMPDIR) on a less
critical partition. Running out of space on / or /var is not very nice.

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.
