I think what you're trying to do is tremendously gutsy, but I would expect no less from gentoo :) Would you basically be trying to build the whole stack more or less from trunk, or would you be going off the latest released versions ? I can't directly help you with the problem you're facing, but it would sound like it might be coming in somewhere related to the site stuff, which is integrated in 2.2.1 core. This was totally removed from 3.x core, which is another reason why starting the whole lot with 3.x might be easier; it has a simpler dependency profile. But I'm not going to re-iterate that.
