'emerge -1v =sys-apps/portage-2.1.8.3' works fine.
Remounting /var/tmp with 'exec' solves problem, but why /var/tmp/portage with 'exec' is not enough?
The default PORTAGE_TMPDIR is /var/tmp, and whatever PORTAGE_TMPDIR refers to needs to be mounted with 'exec' privileges. So, set PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp/portage" in /etc/make.conf and then it will work without 'exec' privileges for /var/tmp.
Since we get enough similar complaints, I'd like to make portage keep any files in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR inside the $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/portage subdirectory. This way, users will be able to correctly make more assumptions about /var/tmp/portage.

This is in git now: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=83e677766650e73071813c0d46547647e5f66029
This is fixed in 2.1.9.43 and 2.2.0_alpha27.
