Basically what's happening is I deleted the contents of /usr/portage/distfiles to free up some space and in so doing, deleted jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin which is required to emerge dev-java/sun-jre-bin. I don't recall exactly how I came to this point since I already have it emerged, but I figure it will probably effect people trying to emerge it for the first time. Basically you can't check dependancies for dev-java/sun-jre-bin without having the installer already in /usr/portage distfiles. Once I put it in place, it properly calculates dependancies. The output of 'emerge -p sun-jre-bin' follows: valhalla ~ # emerge -p sun-jre-bin These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Ah, I should also mention that just running 'emerge sun-jre-bin' works fine and directs me where to download the file.
This is fixed in svn r3148.
Released in 2.1_pre9.
