805Mb is not much but re-partitioning might not be the only answer if most 
of your system is installed already.

Look for PORTAGE_TMPDIR and DISTDIR in your /etc/make.conf. Point them 
to directories that are on a different partition. You can do the same for 
your PORTDIR (resync and delete the old tree after this).

app-admin/localepurge can also save you some space.
