In my opinion, copying application's files to a webroot is something,
which I could do myself. Instead of constructing a long commandline for
webapp-config some little 'cp' commands could do the same. Hardlinking
the files saves space, but then I can't modify the sources without
affecting other installations of the same version.

Instead of the default /var directory I always created a /www dir, in
which all my sites live. That way I can have a dedicated partition for
my sites and limit /var to about 5-10GB at the same time. It's a great
pity that the mysql ebuild also installs it's datadir into the /var
tree. Perhaps something like /usr/mysql would be better for this. But
this would need a general discussion about the use of /var.
