Get the stage3 cd for your arch or for stage1 

 * download all the required sources first...
 * and a portage snapshot
 * then copy all of them to /usr/portage/distfiles
 * follow the docs
 * instead of doing a emerge sync unpack your portage 
   snapshot using the command in the docs
 
This is how I done my home machine works like a dream
