I think Jeffery answered it, but I meant that if /home is on /dev/hda5 and
/usr is on hda4, then in fstab:

mount /dev/hda5 /home
mount /dev/hda4 /usr
mount --bind /usr/portage /home/ftp/...


and not

mount --bind /usr/portage /home/ftp/...
mount /dev/hda5 /home
mount /dev/hda4 /usr

It may work either way, but I assume that somehow I need to ensure that the
drives are mounted *before* I do the bind or the system isn't going to know
where the mount point is. I've never read boot scripts, but I assume that
the initial mount -a command does things in the order of the fstab file, but
maybe it doesn't make any difference.
