sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.10 tries to create /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/floppy, and /proc, and on my machine, spewed errors about how it could not create these folders and their .keep files, because they were already mounted (in my case, with supermount).

this seems to be handled gracefully by the latest baselayout (it just tells you it cant do it, -> /usr/share/baselayout/mkdirs.sh), and the .keep files should still be there under the mounted filesystems from the first install, so imo this can be closed
Yes, latest baselayout handles this as gracefully as it can be done. Bug 9489 has more information.
