This sounds like you either missed the following from Step 8:

# tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-yyyymmdd.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr

or something went wrong with the stage3 tarball extraction and your missing a 
symlink at /etc/make.profile. After chroot'ing, check with "ls -l 
/etc/make.profile" and if it's missing (or different) fix it with:

# ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4 /etc/make.profile

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jason
