You can tell emerge where you want the default portage location (eg 
/dsk0/portage_base)
you can ALSO have a default USR portage location (eg /dsk0/portage_usr)
portage_base can change when ya sync
portage_usr stays as you make it (can put stuff there that you want to keep 
etc)

well i THINK thats how it works :) haha
dont want to KNOW how many times I've installed :) but not as many while I 
was learning mandrake :)
