Gentoo does handle binary package management - do:

emerge --buildpkg whatever (you can set that option in your FEATURES)
the 'install' tools accept <binary package>.tbz2 with a --usepkg option. 

The package is a 'tar --bzip2' with additional meta-data 
The process will preserve timestamps and etc as well as any tar --bzip2
