That's a newer portage make.conf variable; see the manpage.  Apparently 
newer versions default to bz2, while older versions (before the setting 
was exposed as a variable) may have defaulted to gz.  However, the user 
can now set any sort of exotic compression type he likes.  (zip, rar, 
7zip, zoo, anyone?)
