portage doesn't compile anything. it tells gcc et al to do stuff. the commands it runs are deterministic and the unit tests that portage comes with can easily be used. whether or not some ebuild builds on your machine is kind of between you and gcc and has nothing to do with anything gentoo.
I don't really care about it being a replacement overall. I just want my own emerge command to be faster. I can't believe it's not instant like it should be.
