On both my Tiger machine, as well as my Panther iBook updating portage to
sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.22-r1 (from sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.19) results in
collision protect aborting the update process:

package sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.22-r1 NOT merged


I know for sure (some sort of) that Apple does not supply portage by default on
Panther and Tiger.  I suspect the installer not to change the ownership of the
files appropriately after install, which causes this problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install the OSX portage installer on a Mac
2. emerge sync
3. emerge portage

Actual Results:  
collision protect aborted the installation process

Expected Results:  
unmerge the old portage and install the new one
