Just mkdir the directory structure as required under $PORTDIR_OVERLAY. However, the group names that you use (such as app-cdr or x11-libs) must already exist in portage.
I am not sure if it's a must, since I was not following it in a past (actually I do) and everything worked ok. Maybe it started to be a must from some version of portage?
