I didn't have to change my gender to read your post but must admit I lost myself halfway: I'm not a dev :-) ... Maybe http://sourceforge.net/projects/deltup/ is what are you searching for? It is not actively developed since it was striped out of official portage tree (last release date Oct 2004). You can find more about deltup in bugzilla records too.
