It grabs the sources from wherever they are specified (SRC_URI) in the
ebuild.
I just tried it and it worked for me:
virtual-appliance # emerge --fetchonly gentoo-sources
Calculating dependencies... done!

The portage tree itself (should be) in the chroot directory. The build
will download the latest snapshot and unpack it in the chroot.
Although, I did just try that and am getting failures. It seems the
latest portage snapshot is currupt?
virtual-appliance # make portage
rsync --no-motd -L
rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2
portage-latest.tar.bz2
touch sync_portage
mkdir -p /root/virtual-appliance/vabuild
tar xjpf "stage4/base-stage4.tar.bz2" -C /root/virtual-appliance/vabuild
touch stage3
tar xjf portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /root/virtual-appliance/vabuild/usr
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
make: *** [portage] Error 2
Anyone else getting this?
