On my system /etc/portage/repos.conf is also owned by root:root

On my system /usr/portage/* is owned by portage:portage and permissions
for directories is drwxrwsr-x and for files -rw-rw-r--

In make.conf I have usersandbox and userpriv in my FEATURES list. 
Dunno, but maybe this has something to do with ownership/permissions.
