Have you checked the obvious?
 Do you have gigabytes of free space on the volume housing /var/tmp/portage?
 Portage leaves its temporary workspace on failure. You have had a lot of 
 falures lately.
 Sufficient free space on / and /usr?
 Hardware problems?
   cpu overheating - is the cpu fan running?
   general overheating? all fans running?
   Memory problems? perhaps reseat the memory modules.
   I/O errors?
   Corrupted file system? Try fsck.
