Your emerge --info, please.
Hmmm, I think I get it. Run `emerge -1 portage' now, and then run emerge --metadata. It should work that time around. The cause is that the tarball apparently has an older version of sys-apps/portage that doesn't understand so-called "new style virtuals". Emerging a newer sys-apps/portage as described above should fix that.

@dev-portage: What is needed to upgrade from sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.19 to current?
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml Be sure to select an appropriate version of portage based on your currenly installed version of python. According to the emerge --info output you hav python-2.3.4-r1, so portage-2.1.1.tar.bz2 is the correct choice. Also, be sure to remove the sed wrapper script as mentioned in the instructions. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 114798 ***
