Set compatible CFLAGS etc. on B and emerge --buildpkgonly nfs-utils. Then |
| 9 |
copy the package from $PKGDIR/All/nfs-utils-* to A using sneakernet and |
| 10 |
unpack it into /. Then mount /usr/portage and emerge nfs-utils to make |
| 11 |
sure it is installed properly. |

Alternative, and less kludgy, solution. Tar up /usr/portage on B, unpack |
| 14 |
it on A. |

This reminds me of why I let each machine have its own portage tree and |
| 17 |
run a local rsync mirror :) |
