Kinda "wrong". You better add "-a" (or "-p") to see what will happen.
Don't trust portage blindly!
And: what wasn't portage able to resolve? Dependencies or the mirror
to fetch the file from? If it's the latter, don't worry, just use
another mirror.

You could check "/var/log/emerge.log" to see what portage has emerged
and what package is causing your problem. As long as emerge works in a
VT this is ok.
