You can simply copy all relevant files over to your laptop, in a dedicated directory structure and then run emerge --fetchonly --config-root <custom_dir> -avuD @world There is also a ROOT environment variable (and --root parameter). You might have to play around with both to get the right results. If you play around with ROOT, I'd be happy to hear some experiences. especially where it affects portage and where not.
