I am using Gentoo on multiple workstations and notebooks each with the same processor architecture but different hardware (therefore, e.g. some of these machines have the bluetooth useflag enabled and some of them not). As most of the useflags are the same on all machines and to reduce compilation times I am using binary packages and have set PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages/core2" in /etc/portage/make.conf. For the useflags which are different I wanted to set up separate directories and specify them using environment variables following the guide at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/env which is not working as expected. I am using sys-apps/portage-2.2.7 and python is set to python3.2.

The files in /etc/portage.env only affect the compilation/installation phases. What you need is to affect the dependency resolution, which /etc/portage/env can't influence. What you're asking for is support for multiple binary package repositories or for support to store several binary packages for the same cpv in a single binary package repository. Both of which aren't supported currently. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 150031 ***
Oke, thank you for this explanation.
