Thanks for the advice folks.
As it turned out I had enough of the lib left to keep some of the
system running and I managed to copy over sufficient to get a working
connection going then after much more thrashing of the head on desk it
turned out that my backup was sufficient to get portage working pretty
well phew
I am now working on the --emptytree to restore everything properly.

ps. tip of the day when spring cleaning your system watch out for
those little typos that can ruin your summer :)
pps. Just for fun it went something like this,
"rm -rf /usr/lib/libcrco.so /usr/lib/ /usr/lib/bochs /usr/lib/libcroco.co.0"
