So if I understand you correctly, the plan is to make "prefix" work first
and add "domain" / "resolver" later?
The problem is that I see that adding a "resolver" layer (which would need
to work at runtime, on a local system)
would not only break portage, but instead any emerged package.

Is this parent-child relationship really needed? Would it be possible /
feasible to
do a pure parallel relationship. I.e. You have PREFIXES=/gentoo1:/gentoo2
Or a reverse parent-child relationship, i.e PREFIXES=/gentoo:/
