My guess is that it isn't libffi that needs re-emerging, but things
that depend on it. I have 3.30_rc0 installd (both dev_libs and
virtual) and I have no libffi.so.6 anywhere to be found. Have you
tried revdep-rebuild? Either that, or "emerge -pc virtual/libffi" and
them emerge -1 everything it lists.

I think I'm officially screwed. Now I can't even open a new browser
profile due to it not finding /usr/lib64/libffi.so.6. I tried
re-emerging libffi and it ends up with...

Now what? Further checking. libffi is a dependancy of
virtual/libffi, and the virtual/libffi-3.3_rc0.ebuild is...
