If you’re behind a firewall that doesn’t permit rsync traffic, then you can instead download the daily /usr/portage snapshots from http://cvs.gentoo.org/snapshots/. Just unpack the tarball (using tar xvjf portage-foo.tbz2) in the /usr directory.

If you’re behind a firewall that doesn’t permit rsync traffic, then you can use emerge-webrsync which will fetch and install a Portage snapshot for you through regular HTTP. See the proxy section of this document for information on downloading source files and Portage snapshots via a proxy.
