Lots of good advice already, but I thought that I'd chime in to
suggest that you use `eclean` to free up space in distfiles, but only
removing downloaded files which aren't going to be used again. This
means that you don't need to re-download if you re-merge, and lightens
server load.
Another obvious suggestion: unless you're on a very constrained
system, consider re-partitioning to give yourself more root space -- I
very happily ran gentoo inside ~7 GiB for a very long time without
needing to shuffle things about. I recently bought one of these and a
16GiB SD card to quickly add space to my HTPC without disassembly (and
warranty-voiding).
