Its ok for a quick check - especially as I dont want ~x86 samba on that system.
I regard /etc/portage and the way it has been done is a disaster waiting to happen. You have files hidden away in there that unless you make the effort, can (and do) keep insecure versions of software on your system - make sure you regularly check what you put in there! It also did not work properly on two of my systems (one has been decommissioned and the other has been so much upgraded I think the problem has gone away - I gave up after hours of trying to track down inconsistencies. Sorry, but I hanker back to simpler times when -i made things so easy and I didnt have to worry about someones idea of an "elegant" fix ...
