I have no opinion on the subject really, but can't you build a link from /usr/portage to anywhere you want to put it? I put /usr/portage/distfiles on a separate partition as I hate running out of disk space on my root partition when I've not cleaned up distfiles. The only reason I could give for not changing is I don't want to teach my fingers /var/portage vs what they already know. That's a pretty weak reason. - Mark
