I assume you're aware that if you look inside that directory you'll  
find "desktop" and "server" subdirectories?

   $ ls /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/
   desktop  developer  parent  server
   $ ls -l /etc/make.profile
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Oct  8 07:01 /etc/make.profile -> /usr/ 
portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0
   $ ls /etc/make.profile
   desktop  developer  parent  server
   $

In this case I had assumed the "default" was for Portage simply to  
assume desktop.
