I just bootstrapped gentoo-prefix on Mac OSX 10.8, and as I am trying to emerge gentoolkit, it requires installation of dev-lang/python-2.7.5 which fails with the following message: * Messages for package dev-lang/python-2.7.5: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). * * package dev-lang/python-2.7.5 NOT merged * * Detected file collision(s): * * /Users/chevaliersylvain/Gentoo/usr/share/man/man1/python.1.bz2 * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * None of the installed packages claim the file(s). * * Package 'dev-lang/python-2.7.5' NOT merged due to file collisions. If * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the * above message.

you can ignore this problem (e.g. removing the offending file) safely, but I need to dive into this to see why the file isn't registered as member of your previous python-2.7 installation. I presume you have python-2.7.4 installed now, do you?
I did a bootstrap, but not encounter this
