I guess this needs a fix if we're to follow the standard gentoo install 
procedure.  Meanwhile you can get around this (I think) by emerging 
sys-kernel/ppc-sources first, before your system.  This will take a 
while, since it will pull in perl as a dependency.  Or you could edit 
/usr/portage/profile/default-ppc/packages and remove the * in front of 
sys-apps/lsof.  After you have your system (minus lsof) and ppc-sources, 
put it back in and emerge lsof.

**Note to Pieter & Kain: a quick grep of portage reveals no packages 
depending on lsof - can we just remove it from our base system?  Is this 
a problem with the install iso or with portage?
