@Zac, is this really intentional here? It seems that systemd in vanilla mode installs 'README' file stating that it doesn't run init scripts and where to look for services ;). I don't think the file is really necessary/useful in Gentoo but still, it feels like a bit anti-vanilla to remove it.
This should fix it: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=59b5352c457d0f5449d6ff9fb06646fe473cc594
This is fixed in portage-2.1.11.41 and 2.2.0_alpha152.

Anyway, I have removed those files in -197.
