I have portages work directory on tmpfs so no issue there.  My only 
thing, I separate /, /usr, /var portages tree and such.  Of course, if I 
put them on LVM, except for / itself, then I can move things around a 
bit and still not have a init thingy to deal with.

My current setup while snipping the useless stuff:

root@fireball / # mount
/dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/mapper/OS-usr on /usr type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
/dev/mapper/OS-var on /var type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
/dev/mapper/home-home on /home type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
/dev/mapper/backup-backup on /backup type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
tmpfs on /var/tmp/portage type tmpfs (rw,noatime)
root@fireball / #

I may try to get a 60Gb or something tho, just in case.  Depends on what 
is on sale tho.  ;-)
