I'm curious... how could you expect to update the system not as a root?
You don't have root access, so you are done playing... right? Did I
miss something?

I recall on my Mac I didn't have root, but did have sudo... so, "sudo
bash -l" was how I did everything, and how I would have expected to do
gentoo prefix. [So, kinda as "root". Utterly violating the point of not
having root access, I suppose...]

No idea if this could be any help at all.

Anyway, good luck!

Cheers,
