You don't need to do that. I have one box with a portage tree. All my other computers simply NFS mount /usr/portage of that box as local /usr/portage. Bandwidth is expensive in this part of the world. So I really don't want to download the same stuff for each of my boxes. Your different boxes can still have different world files but share a single portage tree. Works perfectly here. No need for a private mirror.
