I just checked portages git repository. The interesting file is
bin/ebuild-helpers/ecompress [1]
There we have:
12 # setup compression stuff
13 PORTAGE_COMPRESS=${PORTAGE_COMPRESS-bzip2}
14 [[ -z ${PORTAGE_COMPRESS} ]] && exit 0
If PORTAGE_COMPRESS is not declared it defaults to bzip2. If it is
declared, but without value or empty the script exits. So a
PORTAGE_COMPRESS=""
should be fine.
