After running an emerge sync, I see a message at the conclusion that says: * An update to portage is available.

I though I had just updated portage. Or is a sync something different than an update?
You synced the portage _tree_. So you could say, you updated the portage _tree_. Portage itself is a piece of python coded software, installed and managed by - portage, i.e. itself. To update this software, you'd need to type
$ emerge -u portage -hwh -- [email protected] mailing list
