More progress...
So after tweaking the portage overlay tree and adding some symlinks,
portage will calculate the deps for emerge -av system.  But when I try
to emerge the 53 packages it fails because it is trying to merge to
"/".... ie:
Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y
>>> emerge (1 of 53) sys-devel/patch-2.5.9-r1 to /
!!! File system problem. (Bad Symlink?)
!!! Fetching may fail: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
!!! No write access to /
!!! File patch-2.5.9.tar.gz isn't fetched but unable to get it.

----------------
Note the "/" in the first line.  Still my environment is missing
something.  But I'm getting closer....
