That's one way.  I know some folks prefer it, and there's nothing
wrong with doing so.

Personally, I prefer to keep the global USE down to a minimum, and
tweak each package's USE flags via /etc/portage/package.use.  I find
it helps ensure that what gets installed onto a box is much closer to
what you intended.  My personal experience is that it makes boxes a
little easier to support as a result, because less installed packages
== less to go wrong.

Best regards,
