Nope, that it not supported. What is supported, however, is excluding parts of the tree (be it single directories, packages or entire categories). Although slightly outdated [1] should be able to provide some useful info. With portage 2.1I believe this: RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM="/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" should be replaced by this: PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" If anyone can confirm that then please add that to the wiki [1].
