What the heck are you talking about? "emerge --sync" doesn't delete
ANY files from your system.
Oh yes it does.
Oh no it doesn't. :P
The portage tree is not required to even be present. Nothing will stop
working without it (other than portage itself - and "emerge --sync" will
fix that). The OP made it sound like running "emerge --sync" had trashed
his system by removing key system files. That is not the case. ;)
Be lucky,
