Please read our documentation tips and tricks guide; there is a snapshot of the
docs generated daily in tarball format.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp/doc/doc-tipsntricks.xml

Should do the trick; you can set up a cron job to automatically fetch the latest
snapshot. Note that you can replace [en] in the link with the two letter
language code of your choice for docs in other languages, if desired.
