Is there any way of keeping a job executing a long emerge session
going on after having closed the VPN session?


nohup

nohup belongs to coreutils, so it is likely already present on that
box

Maybe screen... (emerge -p screen && man screen)



Oops, it should be: "emerge screen && man screen" :-)

I don't know about screen but with nohup the emerge will stop (and not restart) emerging portage, you will need to relaunch manually it after that.
nohup will output a file named nohup.out, in the current directory or in your home, to see what happen issue an
# nohup emerge whatever &
# tail -f nohup.out
then if you became bored to see the output a ^C is ok it will stop only the tail command leaving nohup emerge running.
