your /usr/portage directory is probably not mounted properly check that again and then check /etc/make.profile points to a valid directory which will be something along the lines of /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/<arch>/<version> for example on one of my old amd64 boxes it's /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2007.0
