I don't see any mention of usermod in the handbook, so I'm not sure
where this came from.
As mgorny pointed out, you are invoking usermod incorrectly. You want
this instead:
usermod -aG portage <your user>
Don't use "id" to list group members. That lists groups of which a
user is a member. Use getent instead:
getent group portage
