Yes - emerge --depclean. And syncing portage is done nightly using a cron job to do "emerge --sync"; however, I run "emerge world -vuDNp" manually.
(The system also hosts portage via rsync for my other gentoo system on my network too, which I manually sync against it; I might be adding another system too in the same manner, not sure yet.)

How do you sync your portage tree with this machine? How often? Do you use some kind of script? Regards, Daniel
