Is there a reason to use i486 stage3? I think an i686 one might have
been available and a better hit if your system is/was set up as an i686
before this? Well, not that it counts now, gotta go with what you have
unpacked.

The friendly gentoo devs have whole guide for this:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml
And, as you can see, it starts with the soothing words "Changing the
CHOST is a big issue that can seriously screw up your system" ...
I'd go through that guide first to get to a (hopefully) sane system, and
continue with other emergings only then.
