Here you go:

buildpkg
  Binary packages will be created for all packages that are merged. Also 
see quickpkg(1) and emerge(1) --buildpkg and --buildpkgonly options.

buildsyspkg
  Build binary packages for just packages in the system set.

As a example, this is my line from make.conf:

FEATURES="buildpkg sandbox parallel-fetch --keep-going"

That help?
