Looks good; game to do the same for emerge-webrsync, and add in 
support for tarsync if it's available?

Users will feed you cookies for the faster emerge-webrsync ;)

Offhand... one option, minimal diff (although untested, so might have 
args wrong)-
if [[ -n $PORTAGE_NICENESS ]] && ! [[ -z $WE_ARE_NICED ]]; then
	export WE_ARE_NICED=1
	exec nice -n "$PORTAGE_NICENESS" "$0" "$@"
fi

Icky re-execing, but is the usual trick...
