  Several people on this list, me included, have been bitten by this.
Note the "s" in "https".  That means "secure".  wget is the program that
emerge uses to download files.  In order to access "https" URLs, wget
*MUST* be emerged with the "ssl" flag.  You can either set it globally
in your /etc/make.conf, or if you just want to affect wget, enter this
line in /etc/portage/package.use

net-misc/wget ssl

  You must emerge wget after setting the "ssl" flag, and then wget can
access "https" URLs.
