I am trying to install gentoo-prefix on a Fedora system where I have user but not root access. /etc/fedora-release says this is a "Fedora release 13 (Goddard)" system, but I can't say anything about how frequently it is updated. I ran the bootstrap-prefix.sh script as instructed, telling it to put the prefix in $HOME/gentoo (which is located on an NSF share, so I expected some slowness during the install). I noticed that while emerging various packages, the $HOME/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/app-category/package-name/temp directories (and parents) were never successfully deleted, because Portage believed them to be non-empty (despite their being empty). In addition, I had significant clock-skew warnings, but this is because the system clock is in fact a few minutes off (and is also not properly on DST despite it still being the summer). However, none of these issues seemed to be affecting the installation. What is causing a problem is the install of Perl. Portage has been hung at the exact same spot for days now, and I don't think NSF slowness can explain this.

it's clock-skew. do you have any local storage on that box?
