app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20100215: when install this ebuild, it try to fix file permission by "find "${S}" -user 'portage' -exec chown root '{}' \; || die "chown failed";". The problem is that user/group "portage" does not exist on a system with Portage-Prefix installed.

That specific part of code is guarded with: "if use !prefix || [[ ${EUID} -eq 0 ]] ; then" So, your EUID is 0? That is a recipe for disaster and not exactly supported. =/

Portage-Prefix is designed to be used only by a non-super user?
I will mark this as "REMIND". And, I wish your people will consider making portage-prefix working globally, just like macports or something like that. I really like the portage.
Wait, if your EUID == 0, then probably you should have a user portage too. Perhaps baselayout-prefix could create that user for you (if your EUID == 0). I agree with darkside that using it as root is asking for trouble (since it is hardly tested), but we can try to make these things work, I guess. Just side-note: you can perfectly fine install "globally" without root user IMO. Just create a special user if you like, and as that user bootstrap/install all stuff in a location. Any user can use the tools, or even use the startprefix.sh script, they just can't emerge or modify stuff (exactly as you want). I use it like this on some machines without problems.

BTW, no user/group "portage" exists, I check the file "/etc/passwd" or "dscl . readall /Users"/"dscl read all /Groups"

The scary part, in my opinion, is that there is no sandbox concept that is working. So if you have a rouge build system and/or you use a non-trusted ebuild it could be very dangerous. (eg. rm -rf / or something equally stupid). Even a typo could result in bad things. Not trying to scare you, just saying some potential pitfalls. A much safer approach is to use a normal user and adjust your PATH/SHELL globally.
creation of portage group/user added to baselayout-prefix ebuild when using root privileges
