This is now the solution I am preferring most.

Basically, /etc/portage/profile would have a new location - /etc/portage.
/etc/make.conf moves to /etc/portage/make.defaults (or make.conf as an
alternate name.)
You define your profile(s) in /etc/portage/parent.

This basically collapses everything together in /etc/portage and
eliminates a lot of duplication and confusion.

Good suggestions everyone!
