Have a look at screen multi user support.

emerge screen

Each user you want to be able to watch to your own screen session can now be 
added to your $HOME/.screenrc file.
Simple add the line "acladd watcher" to add user "watcher" to the list of 
users that may attach to your screen.

Now, user watch may access your screen using the command 
 screen -r otherUser/screenName

where otherUser is the name of your user account and screenName the name of 
your screen session.

Make sure, that you've enabled multiuser support in file /etc/screenrc.

Have a look into the screen man-page anyway since you can do alot of more with 
your screen and multi sessions.

Greets,
Christian Parpart.
