Yes but I don't think the GTK installer does. Or, if it does, it doesn't use the updated snapshot for emerging the packages.
 
For my own install, I ended up doing mostly a manual install once the kernel was installed.  I did a --sync and then started the install of xorg and gnome.  It's now running an emerge -uDN to get everything up to snuff.

I just went through the install process for amd64 on my Acer 5050 laptop (turion) and ran into a few problems with the install, mostly with out of date packages (xterm-215 is no longer available).  It took 4 attempts to get to the install portion where I could reboot and resume the build after the emerge failed. 

Is there some way to have the installer run emerge --sync before it starts building the system?


Actually, before compiling you have to emerge --sync, after the chroot.
