I have 16 GB, with 8GB for $PORTAGE_TMPDIR on tmpfs. There were issues 
with some packages having not enough space, so I have this in 
/etc/portage/package.env:

app-office/libreoffice          notmpfs.conf
dev-java/icedtea                notmpfs.conf
games-fps/alienarena            notmpfs.conf
games-fps/worldofpadman         notmpfs.conf
games-sports/vdrift             notmpfs.conf
mail-client/thunderbird         notmpfs.conf
www-client/firefox              notmpfs.conf

/etc/portage/env.d/notmpfs.conf has this entry, changing PORTAGE_TMPDIR 
to real HDD space:

PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/portage/tmp

Most of these packages compile with 8 GB of space, but not with parallel 
merges, like when Thunderbird and Firefox are both being built at the 
same time.
