Have a look at the files in /usr/portage/profiles/base/.  Reading the
comments turned on the light bulb for me.

Actually, I created the problem for myself, which is not so weird
at all.  Happens every day :(

At the time I switched to sharing portage over NFS, I didn't really
expect it to work, so I took some shortcuts by making symlinks where
I knew they really didn't belong -- but I figured I'd be undoing
everything again in a few minutes anyway.  Dumb!  Do it right the
first time...
