mktemp should be part of the system dependency, and I don't have this issue on any of my boxes.
Weird, it was never unmerged according to emerge.log. Actually locate found it at /bin/mktemp but it would work properly and scripts couldn't even find it even though /bin was in path. According to portage it wasn't installed.
/bin/mktemp comes from sys-apps/mktemp, which is in no way in the system set.
nevermind, i'm on crack. it's pulled in by baselayout.
mktemp now part of the sys-apps/coreutils-6.10 package. See bug #207118
dropped
