Works here, although I don't see why you'd be having that issue. Try emerging sync and then reinstalling the package. If that doesn't work, reinstall portage. Hope that works for you. Please feel free to e-mail me or post to this bug if it doesn't.
Nope, still doesnt work. I scrolled up and found more errors before the merge: man: /usr/lib/portage/bin/prepman: line 1: readlink: command not found gzipping man page: ircbug.1 gzipping man page: ircII.1 prepallstrip: strip: strip --strip-unneeded strip: strip --strip-unneeded Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ?

Please emerge the following: sys-apps/freebsd-stat-5.3_p20050202 That provides "readlink". Let me know if it works so I can close this bug.
That fixed it. Though shouldn't freebsd-stat be in the ppc-macos base system?
It is in system, although it might not have been when you installed gentoo for osx.
