Gentoo portage (and gentoo-x86 tree) has been upgrade to EAPI 5 by the
end of 2012, after the portage-prefix snapshot used by bootstrap scipt.

To fix this, do a "emerge -u portage" before resuming your bootstrap
scipt. It will upgrade portage to the newest version capable of EAPI 5.

I think pushing out a EAPI5 portage snapshot for bootstrap is on
Fabian's list, though he's busy :)
