This is how I deal with it:

possible to remove /usr/portage anytime and recover with just
untarring
the snapshot. This is use ful if you have several people working on
the
same project and you might want to work on the same portage tree.
Thanks, those are good suggestions.
* Always enter in my chroot environment from a script. The script
mounts
proc and /usr/portage, chroot and then umounts everything again.
Yeah, I'm starting to do that.
Maybe just a note in the Howto warning users of the risk would be a
good idea. Then again, if you're building an embedded Linux system,
maybe you should be smart enough to know the risks.
