I'm not sure using NFS special permissions.  But I would just create two 
different mount points.  One for the portage tree and make that read-only, and 
then another for the distfiles and make that read-write.

If you have problems mounting the in /usr/portage, and then the distfiles in 
/usr/portage/distfiles, then I would just move use the make.conf, and specify a 
different DISTDIR outside /usr/portage.
