I believe you will already have checked this, but anyways: |

I once upon a time experienced a similar issue, which was caused by the fact that for some reason, I was only syncing new / modfied files from the source to my local portage tree, and not deleting no longer existent (on the source) files from the local tree. This resulted in emerge complaining about various ebuilds not being found. |

I was kind of shocked at first, then found my error, and on "properly" (including deletes) syncing with my portage source everything immediately started working fine again on the local (destination) machine. |

But again, I believe it's highly unprobable that this is your problem, because if you synced "correctly" before your server had to be re-setup, I would believe that you're doing it correctly now as well, at least I can't see what should have changed concering the sync due to the act of replacing the server... |
