That's the entire problem, the file does not exist so the required
information in it cannot be there.

The masters attribute is required for overlays (even personal local
ones). Use layout.conf from $PORTDIR as a guide. The file looks
something like this:

masters = gentoo
# Use new hashes
manifest-hashes = SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL
# Do not update changelogs
update-changelog = false
# Use thin manifests
thin-manifests = true
# Dont sign thinn manifests. There is no current policy for git commit
signing
sign-manifests = false
# Make egencache generate newer (more reliable)
# md5-dict cache format (see bug #409445).
