/etc/portage should be a directory, not a symlink. This is where you
create package.keywords to enable ~ARCH builds, package.unmask to
enable explicitly masked packages, package.use to set per-package USE
flags, etc.
The symlink you're thinking of is /etc/make.profile and it should
point to something like
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop.

As a general rule, I always run revdep-rebuild with -p and ignore any
gripes about openoffice-bin. Openoffice-bin comes with a lot of
private libraries the supercede those in /usr/lib and reddep-rebuild
doesn't know how to resolve those correctly.
There's no ebuild for openoffice-bin-2.0.2 because that release is no
longer in portage. Running emerge -u openoffice-bin will upgrade you
to 2.1.0 which is currently the only open office binary release in
portage.
Running ldd on /usr/bin/firefox won't give any useful information
since that is just a script that runs mozilla-launcher with the real
binary. Instead, run ldd on /usr/lib/mozilla-firefor/firefox-bin which
is the actual binary. You should not get any 'not found' messages. If
anything is 'not found' then you need to move on to which package
needs to be rebuilt.
