Hi Mats,
I don't know how accurate this is but I have read on the Gentoo forum a number of times that one can just Ctrl-C out of an emerge and then start over again. That the ebuilds are smart enough to know what has already been compiled and that they will automatically pick up where they left off.
Again don't know how accurate that is but it's has seemed to work for me just fine when I have broken long emerges like KDE and Mozilla.
portage is smart enough to not remerge dependancies that have already been compiled & merged, but if you were, say, halfway through xfree when you cancelled, it would restart xfree from the beginning.
The solution is to use --resume. I have not played with resume, but i hear it works alright.

I can't drive 55. I'm looking forward to not being able to drive 65, either.
