This is probably not possible at all using any of the tools available.
These tools only support downloading the latest snapshot to get you up
to date. Additionally, most mirrors only keep snapshots of the last 7
days or so, so it would take some (possibly futile) effort to find a
snapshot of the date you need.

The only option, as far as I ca nsee, is to migrate your portage tree
to git, where you can specify a commit that you want to sync to from
the wanted day.

The better option would of course be to figure out why your tensorflow
compiles keeps failing, if that is possible.
