Yes.

emerge --resume

(don't do any other emerges in-between; --resume picks up the last
emerge only, afaik).

By the way, if a long emerge is stopped because of a problem with one of
the packages (and you can't fix it), there is also emerge --resume
--skipfirst to "jump over" the bad package, and move on to the rest of
the group. Naturally anything that depended on the bad package will fail
as well, but you can skip over those too, using the same command.

Hope this helps.

And in case a long compile was interrupted, an 'ebuild /usr/portage/
..../package.ebuild merge' should install this package without
recompiling everything.
