well you can save space by removing package groups that you don't use.
if you creat a dir called /etc/portage and creat a file there called
"rsync_excludes"
and list all directories you don't want updated, like "app-cdr" since you
don't own a burnner, theres no need for portage to download and keep files
you will never use.

best bet is to go into /urs/portage/
and add the groups to the "rsync_excludes"
but make sure to take great care, many things are dependent.

oh and also make sure you add this line to make.conf ( at the very bottom )

RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes
