I could run this automatically evey night.
Inside a set of different chroots which sync against the tree then try to install and package the latest ~amd64 version with a USE combination set per chroot.

The resulting build logs can be emailed automatically and binary packages uploaded to a specified location. I also have reasonably fast hardware available.
