when was the last time you "emerge sync" ? do that and then try again.
seems to be a problem in the thirdparty mirrors.. edit /usr/portage/profiles/thirdpartymirros , find the line starting with 'gnome' and remove the ftp site with 2.0.0 in it's URL . Then try again and report back if it worked.
Tried both of these still didnt work. Got to looking around. Did a "rm -rf /usr/tmp/portage" then redid the rsync was able to emerge gdm. *shrug*
How could /var/tmp/portage possibly affect this ? I just assume you couldnt connect to any of the right servers, hit the wrong 3rd party mirror and errored out. Anyway closing.
