I would start by comparing /usr/share/eselect/* between the bad machine and one of the good ones. I'd probably use scp -r to copy the bad machine's directory to /tmp on the good machine and use diff -r to do the comparison.
(I just discovered sftp, which is another easy way to copy things.)
I love to hear a better suggestion about how to compare two different machines, though. You could set up an nfs mount of one machine on the other, but that's too complicated for my very limited needs.
