That's the way, I'm doing it right now. I guess, it's gentoo's fault.
You do "emerge --sync", gentoo selects the rsync-mirror randomly
and updates "/usr/portage". This directory is immediately useable.
(/usr/portage includes stable/unstable and several stages in between.)

The developers gpg-signatures garantee, that you get, what you want.
Call me lazy, but I think, that this technique could improve NetBSD
very much.
