There is this experiment making available binary packages based on Gentoo profiles, care of dilfridge: https://dilfridge.blogspot.com/2021/09/experimental-binary-gentoo-package.html Although the article mentions a systemd profile, I've tried it with an openrc installation and it worked fine. Binaries were downloaded and installed as part of a normal update, just as advertised. I didn't try any packages in the gentoo toolchain, as this could break things, but I can see the benefit of using this facility at least selectively to bypass long compilations.
