The ROOT environment variable (man make.conf) can do this, somewhat.
It will install the packages to the root that you specify, but
dependancies still end up in /.

What is probably more common in Gentoo is to use binary packages.  In
this model, you use one system to build packages for all the others.
You can then rsync the packages (or put them on a network server) to
all the other systems, and quickly update the other systems with the
--usepkg option to emerge.

For starters on binary packages with Gentoo:
