And if this is done will portage still keep track of what's been installed?


The sources are only installed temporary until a package has been successfully compiled.

For cleaning package tarballs from packages that are no longer
installed, there's a python script out there which is named
distclean.py (version 0.1), i actually don't remember where
i took it from.

To cleanup a gentoo box from packages which are no longer needed
because no other package depends on it anymore, the command
'emerge depclean' can be used.
