Tip: If you want me to respond to something that directed to me 
it's best to CC: me directly as it's easy to miss threads on high 
volume lists.

I use the qmerge applet from portage-utils to grab the pkgs to the
localhost then emerge -Kpv $pkg.

So on a fresh install I do something like

wget hardened-tarball.tbz2
unpack
emerge portage-utils
set binhost
qmerge -f $(qlist -IC)
emerge -C pam-login
emerge -Ke system


otherwise I just qmerge -f $pkg ;
emerge -Kpv $pkg

The qmerge applet requires the use of the genpkgindex util on the 
remote bin repo. I know pkgcore is going to start using this same 
format for it's remote bin repo stuff. I talked with Zac (zmedico) 
last week about portage supporting it also. I think he is keen on 
it but the tool will need love on solving the $PN conflicts.
Between us 3 we will come up with a standard sooner or later. 
(probably later vs sooner)

it generates output like the following.
