This was just a huge set of threads on the gentoo-user mailing list.

The "right" solution is to have /usr separate from / and use / for the
host-local things.  /usr can then be shared between many systems for
savings in administration.  Then the only thing that you have to manage
per-each-host is the /etc tree and things like /var.
