You can build the binary packages on your desktop systems, then transfer them to your laptop. Just start installing new packages on your desktops with emerge -b from now on. (Binary packages will appear in /usr/portage/packages/All.) Copy the binary packages over to the laptop, and use emerge -k <> to install them.
Using the same USE variables on the laptop and desktops is helpful, but not required. If you want to use seperate ones, you'll find yourself building all packages twice on your desktop.
Finally, if you have a package already installed on one of your desktops that you are satisfied with and would like to put on the laptop, you can use quickpkg (might need to merge it in, I forget...) to grab the existing binaries and put them into a binary package. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
