What is a valid value for PORTAGE_BINHOST?
See the gentoo handbook.
Where can I get a list of
mirrors which contain precompiled binaries?
Shortly the answer is NO. But this thread might help you.

By the way, this is the problem. On running "emerge PACKAGE", the
sources are downloaded, compiled and then installed. What should be done
to directly download binaries and install them?
Again given in the handbook.
emerge -K package
