I am not certain but I think you will need to download many more packages. I 
would think you would at least need to also:

emerge -f system
emerge -f sys-kernel/<kernel-of-your-choice>
emerge -f app-admin/<logger-of-your-choice>
emerge -f sys-apps/<bootloader-of-your-choice>

Once you do have have everything you need, you will have to compile everything 
from within a chrooted system.
