Thanks Alexander, I will be adding the sync-uri line in 
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf once I know for sure if I should be 
creating this file myself, or if portage ought to have created and for some 
reason hasn't.

On another box of mine the file exists, but I can't recall if I created it 
myself or portage did it for me.  :-/
