Aha! You're on Comcast! I also have Comcast, and occasionally I have issues where their DNS servers will give me the wrong IP for a domain name (happens when their automated "You must register to use our system" system gets funked up and forgets that I'm a legitimate user) - I get their "Please contact us to sign up" redirected page instead. So, try copying the URL that emerge is trying to grab, paste it into your regular web browser, and see what comes up. If it comes up with a file download, then just save that file into /usr/portage/distfiles and then that particular emerge should be fine (but you will still apparently have a larger issue). If it comes up with the Comcast stupidity web page, then you know where your issue lays. I haven't even attempted to talk with Comcast tech support about it, as what they'll say is "You're using a router? You're running Linux? That configuration isn't support, hook a Windows box directly up to the cable modem and it should work fine". The way I personally resolved it was to use non-Comcast DNS server settings...
