Portage relies on rsync for it's emerge --sync. You can add extra command line parameters to the rsync call by specifying them in the variable PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS in your /etc/make.conf Take a look at `man rsync` for a list of possible options and `man make.conf` for a list of all default options. For example, you could specify --out-format '.' That way, for every file it will only print a single dot and a line feed. That way, you can still monitor progress with a minimum of traffic.
