What that message used to say is that after portage had been emerged the
rest of the deps would be recalculated. AFAIK this is still what
happens, and emerge should carry on after reemerging portage.
If it's not, then press ctrl-C whilst it's emerging portage, and then do
emerge --resume --skipfirst, and it'll skip portage. You shouldn't need
to though.
