It is in the Gentoo handbook.
Anyway as root, mount your cdrom then type the following:
ls /mnt/cdrom
export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom/packages" (If it is in a directory)
export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom"
Now install a package you want by typing:
emerge --usepkg kde (This is an example)
Refer to the handbook for more details or type:
man emerge
man portage
man ebuild

You can also make it stop emerging if it can't find it on CD, like this (just taken from the manpage):
or, it's doing the same if you run:Code:emerge -K package
Code:emerge --usepkgonly package
