Short answer: No.
Long answer: read on below.

No. If the package failed to compile, nothing has been installed in your
system. If it failed during copying the files to your real system and
emerge it again, they simply get overwritten.

[ebuild   R   ] net-misc/unison-2.12.2  -doc +gtk +gtk2 0 kB

FEATURE="keepwork" will cost you *a lot* of diskspace. If you build a
complete system with this enabled, be prepared to spend a 50Gb+ disk
just for /var/tmp/portage.
