I've found what was causing this. I can hardly believe it myself, but the 
evidence is conclusive.

In my /etc/init.d/atom start script I nfs-mounted the Atom's package 
directory, but for historical reasons (latterly approaching the hysterical) I 
was passing "-o vers=3". Once I removed that, portage sprang back into life.

Go figure, as they say on the other side of the pond.
