I agree to some degree.  I think it should be gotten from the home page
when not avaiable from a Gentoo mirror.  However, portage has the
checksum so if someone messed with it, you would get a error saying it
didn't match.  It should be safe.

Glad you got it going.  I got those 6 packages unmerged too.
