A question: if I untar stage1 and in /mnt/gentoo/usr I untar portage 
downloaded from a mirror and I do not want perform any emerge sync, Do I 
need to set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable to /usr/portage?

Hi,
I'm new to gentoo and just starting to make some of my own ebuilds.
I know that I need a local portage tree. Is there a specific way to create
the directory structure ? or do I simply mkdir the directories required ?
   

You need to set up PORTDIR_OVERLAY in your /etc/make.conf to point to your
local portage tree (mine is set up to /usr/local/portage). This one does not
get overwritten with `emerge sync`.
Insude that dir, it is advised to create directory structure similar to main
portage (net-mail, net-mail/application, etc.).
