emerge -fDuN @world

will both check/resolve dependencies as well as insure that all files
required to do the build are downloaded. I typically run this command
prior to emerging anything as I dislike coming back and hour later and
finding the emerge didn't finish because a file either couldn't be
downloaded or its manifest didn't check out.

Just an alternative way to do things.
