This sound workable. If I don't want something logged, just comment 
out the PORT_LGDIR in make.conf, or is there a way on the Command line
to toggle this on and off, without manually editing the file?

I assume there is a unique log file for each separate ebuild.

Where do I read up on PORTDIR (documentation) referred to in
man make.conf ?
