I ran into this for the first time last week, and I tinkered for an
embarassingly long time before it dawned on me that simply emerging
portage and gentoolkit together was the answer.  It does seem like a
bit of a bug when emerge tells you to run command "whatever", and when
you do emerge tells you it can't do "whatever".
