Just copy it (exclude distfiles and packages). All the site specific stuff goes in /etc and /var. I've found squashfs useful for this purpose. mksquashfs /usr/portage /tmp/portage.squash -e distfiles packages mount -o loop -t squashfs /tmp/portage.squash /usr/portage Actually, if you choose to use squashfs, you probably want to use alternative values for DISTDIR and PKGDIR since /usr/portage will be read-only.
