Absolutely, but this requires a manual intervention from the user. And, 
of course, you can totally opt-out from portage managing (syncing) the 
repository, but then you have to take care of syncing yourself.

The point is that with the new portage release, portage's behavior 
changes. And I would argue that portage should not, in its effort to 
become more user friendly, disregard ebuild-developer friendliness. 
Assuming it is achievable with a reasonable amount of additional code 
complexity.
