SpanKY: look at bug #6307 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY', could be the same problem you've got
This bug was likely caused by invalid stuff in /usr/portage that was causing Portage to choke. I've improved Portage's internal error handlind and this specific issue should be resolved in 2.0.30. You should now get clear error messages instead and emerge should behave politely.
Are you sure Daniel ? It sure isn't in alpha2 yet !
