Yes, there is no risk, but there are a much better solution, it's called
distclean. You can search for it on forum. It is a script, which will
remove the sources of packages what are NOT in portage already. Old
Openoffice, America's Army, and so on.

In addition you can search for doubles with etcat. For example KDE 3.2
and 3.3 use different slots, so maybe you have old KDE which isn't used
anymore.

The mentioned applications are just for example of course.

There were a quite deep thread in the past around saving (conquer back)
diskspace. I don't remember the subject, but you could find it if you
want.

HTH.
