Runand record the URIs of the files you need to download. Go to another machine with an Internet connection and download the files to removable media. Transfer the files back to your Gentoo installation, copying them to /usr/portage/distfiles. Then runSimple. 
If you absolutely need to chroot back into the installation, you don't need to start over. Just follow NeddySeagoons' Rough Guide to Chrooting.

You have at least three possibilities:
1) boot from your install disk, set up your network connection, mount your partitions and chroot into your system. Afterwards, emerge dhcp
2) edit your network-configuration by hand, as described here
3) download the dhcp-tarball, copy it to /usr/portage/distfiles and install (emerge) it
I would prefer method #2.
Edit: gnah, too slow!
Best regards,
Jimini
