You are perfectly correct. That's why I have:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount | grep /var
/dev/mapper/vg-var on /var type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail)
/dev/mapper/vg-portage on /var/portage type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/vg-distfiles on /var/distfiles type reiserfs 
(rw,noatime,notail)

Note that distfiles is not a sub-dir of portage either
