Yes, as instructed here:

This page discusses local distfile servers:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_distfiles_cache
using either of two approaches:
- apt-cacher-ng
- nginx
Do they relate to the ftp and http you mention?
I already have apache and don't want to install any more packages - it would
seem that if nginx can serve the files, apache should be able to, too.
I'm trying to configure it.
This page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_distfiles_cache#Setting_up_clients
says I should put this line into /etc/portage/make.conf:
http_proxy="http://distfilescache:3142
Is that the URL it'll send? So, all I'd have to do is have a virtual host
responding to that port with a copy of /etc/portage/distfiles at its root?
TIA,
Tom
