6 You could unpack a stage 3 tarball to a temporary location then copy the
7 portage files over. If you have portage-utils or equery installed and
8 working, you could use qlist or equery to generate a list of files to
9 copy.

11 Alternatively, as you are using VMs, begin a basic stage 3 install in a
12 new VM, as far as being able to quickpkg portage, then unpack the tarball
13 in the root of the broken VM.
