I do. I'm on dial-up so even if they can catch me online, they can't
get anything big. It's to slow to upload to them and just as slow to
send me something. 26K dial-up sucks but DSL is coming soon.

Goes both ways though backup of portages var information is less useful
without backup of everything installed.
I'm undecided about /usr/portage, I could save some time backing up
/usr/portage/distfiles, but it is easily generated content.
Minimal backup - if your willing to spend the hours on getting thing
back up and running.
