This is more or less how I already maintain my private GNAP sources.

I have a GNAP base with a minimal Portage snapshot and overlays+specs for 
various other alternatives (Asterisk/Load balancer/MythTV). Unfortunately 
this leaves a lot of duplicates in the spec files. An inheritance/tree based 
approach like profiles would probably cut down on a lot of duplicates. I 
could perhaps just use different profiles and leave the GNAP files more or 
less empty, but a 100% GNAP approach might be better.

I also have Thierry's scripts to make minimal snapshots (with a few fixes of 
my own).

Besides overlays we also need some place to hold stage/portage tarballs.
