Quick question and slightly OT

How do others setup their own "profile"?

I'm thinking that I try to sync a base /etc/make.conf across quite a few 
machines and whilst each machine slightly customises this, it would be 
really nice to have a master set of USE defaults and package.use / 
package.keywords options

I presume one needs to simply setup the profile somewhere outside of the 
/portage directory and then reference it?  Any thing else needed other 
than a "parent" file pointing back at the real base profile?

Any other tips from others who do something like this?

Cheers
