Just after installation I emerged portage as specified in the howto. The 2.1 portage ebuild fails.

Which howto are you referring to? In any way, please use stable portage for ppc-macos, as the unstable ones are known to have glitches or not work as all for us.
As does the 'stable' one. Some packages do not merge because there are the symlink problems. Upgrading to the latest stable portage at least allows to build portage 2.0.53 which does not build with the portage in the installer either. I started with setting ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to allow unstable packages because I read http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/macos/keywording.xml which says that stable packages are just historical relict for now. The howto: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_on_MAC_OSX. I found only this one.

It says we try to avoid marking stable, just because of this kind of issues. The latest stable portage for ppc-macos is the one known to more or less work. It has symlink problems, yes. Remember that the gentoo-wiki.com website is not an official Gentoo resource.
... however, if you are challenged enough, feel free to drop us a note, to for instance participate in things like this: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.macosx/768 which we have a more or less 'working' version for OSX.
