There seem to be rather a lot of those already:

find /usr/portage/*-* -regex '.*\.\(tgz\|tbz2\|gz\|bz2\)'

Is there a specific policy about not having compressed file in the tree? 
  If I'm not mistaken, a gz'ed or bz2'ed file in portage is sort of 
pointless, since the rsync enables compression.  Maybe repoman could 
complain about .gz, .bz2, .tgz, or .tbz2 files in the tree as well?
