If a user wants to migrate it is pretty easy to do.  Update the
setting and do an mv, or don't do an mv in which case it will just
regenerate.  I think /var/db/pkg is the only thing that is
particularly sensitive there (if users lose that then they have a mess
- probably recoverable if they do an emerge -e world and then go
hunting for orphans).
