No, 'emerge --resume' is lame. It doesn't do what you're thinking it does.

What you want is:

ebuild <path to last ebuild that was worked on> merge

should do the trick -- at least for the last package that was worked
on. To find the last ebuild that was worked on, check
/var/log/emerge.log... it'll be one of the last lines in the file.

After that, you should be able to just issue the original emerge
command, and it should pick up where it left off.
