I agree that more examples would help, but nobody is volunteering to write them... Have you looked through all ebuilds under www-apps already?

And on real servers (i.e. not home servers, or desktop+server) the /var is usually on a separate NAS (or SAN, or at least RAID array), has special backup schedules and so on.
