Hmmm... I wonder if you're supposed to do 'emerge metadata' first. In
handbook (6.a.) it says to do 'emerge --sync' -- which you didn't do
because of nonetwork. I would guess that the stage3 tarball has the
metadata already set up... but maybe not.

There is no -r6 in portage. Current stable ebuild is -r5.
What do you get, verbatim, when you enter this:
# emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.28-r5
If it fails, maybe try 'emerge metadata' and then try again.
On my fully functional and installed gentoo system, the '--usepkgonly' will
give you exactly the same errors you posted. Which packages is it looking
for online? Does it say anything about bad MD5's?
FYI, some sample emerge commands (and errors) on my system are below the
sig. You'll probably see some old friends there. :-)
Hope this helps...
