Sure,
I do it file by file; here is one of the 'files' (patches) I pulled down for
'showconsole' now also deprecated:
wget

If I know a package is going to be removed, I just emerge it and then copy
everything to /usr/local/portage/<category>/ prior to removal.
Hit me up with any other questions......
