Sure you can...there are some things on the 1st LiveCD (like XFree), but
lots of others on the 2nd. Just insert that CD and type:

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
# cp -a /mnt/cdrom/packages/* /usr/portage/packages/

Then, when you "emerge -k <packagename>", gentoo will first check wether
you have the binary in the /usr/portage/packages folder before
attempting to download anything from the net
