I'm thinking about putting the stuff in /var/tmp/portage on another
drive and linking with a symlink. Is there a better way?

Using the PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable (man make.conf).

Set PORTAGE_TMPDIR in your make.conf. See `man 5 make.conf`.
Kind regards, tastytea.

Thank you all for the suggestion about make.conf. I'd seen something
about configuring it in
*|/etc/portage/env/notmpfs.conf|*
||and that seemed unfamiliar.

You could use /etc/portage/env/ to specify various emerge directives for a
particular package, while the rest will be built using the default settings.
Setting PORTAGE_TMPDIR in make.conf will define the default directory for all
packages.
What is it you are trying to achieve?

Ah, that's the distinction. Good, thank you.
I am currently moving all my files to the new location and have updated
make.conf appropriately.
80G for a root filesystem is not enough.
