In the meantime a new ebuild format version (EAPI) has been introduced; your
old portage can't process that, and as a result doesnt understand many new
ebuilds.
Portage disregards ebuilds where it doesnt know the format, but of course if
these are needed to update Portage itself, you're somewhat screwed.
Luckily there is a very simple workaround.
Download a recent portage (the packager) tarball, or clone git master portage:
https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/proj/portage.git
Then run the "emerge" command inside that checkout, by giving its full path,
the same way as you would otherwise run emerge. This updates your system and
ideally afterwards your system portage is new and shiny, so you can delete the
git clone again.
