Why are you installing portage-9999 now?  This is going to be masked
unless you've jumped through some hoops.

Try:
USE="python_targets_python3_6 -python_targets_python3_7 -rsync-verify"
emerge -p1v =sys-apps/portage-2.3.99-r2

This should force the current stable version of portage and disable
key verification so that you don't need those keys.
You should also determine how you've unmasked portage-9999.  I'd grep
for portage in any of the config files in /etc/portage and remove it
from anything in package.unmask or package.accept_keywords or
package.keywords.
