  After some more Google searching...
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
(YES! There is a double-slash after "wiki")

  As near as I can tell, portage processes every file in the repos.conf
directory.  It looks like I could simplify things by combining everything
into one file, and eliminating the separate files.  Is that correct?  E.g.
create file /etc/portage/repos.conf/repos.conf


[DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo

[gentoo]
priority = 20
location = /var/portage
sync-type = rsync
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
auto-sync = yes
sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no

[localrepo]
location = /usr/local/portage
masters = gentoo
auto-sync = no
sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no

[palemoon]
priority = 50
location = /var/lib/layman/palemoon
layman-type = git
auto-sync = no
sync-rsync-verify-metamanifest = no
