Yes. |

Put the packages you download under /usr/portage/distfiles. emerge will pick |
| 12 |
them up automatically. |

Instead of doing emerge rsync you can download latest portage tree (see FAQ) |
| 14 |
and untar it under /usr (so it creates/overwrites /usr/portage). |

Please search through archives for more (gentoo-user mailing list contains |
| 16 |
even more stuff and is probably more appropriate for such questions.) |
