!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the '/etc/make.profile' symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?
So it seems that emerge portage fails.
Also I do'nt understand this:
your /usr/portage directory is probably not mounted properly check that again and then check /etc/make.profile points to a valid directory which will be something along the lines of
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/<arch>/<version>
for example on one of my old amd64 boxes it's
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2007.0
