Why this first configure with the bad ${PREFIX} option?

Keep in mind, setting the PATH in the shell is only for your benefit  
and has no effect on the PATHs available to portage. Be sure to set  
this using the DEFAULT_PATH var in make.conf or your profile.

Ok, if you are having to manually create ${PREFIX}/etc, the make  
install target of portage is failing. Can you run make install again  
and log it and/or watch very carefully what is getting installed and  
where?

This directory should also have been created during make install.
