Is there a way to emerge every package (even ones not installed on my system?)
I just got my system set up and I want to download the rest of the files |

I am pretty sure you don't want to do an emerge-every-file-in-the-portage tree, really, you only want to emerge the stuff you need... I you meant you want to emerge stuff that is not in the portage tree: no you can't. On the other hand: if there is something you want to install you can in moste cases download the source, unpack it and then do (as root)
| Code: | ./configure
make
make install
|
If you feel like it you can try to make an ebuild after that and share it (don't know the link, someone will) |

Yes -- type:
| Code: | | emerge <really long list of all package names here> |
Then, after about 6 weeks of compiling (assuming you have enough disk space), you should have a broken, non-functional Gentoo system, ready to go!

There are (as of now) 1856 Gentoo packages available. Do you have any idea what you're trying to do? You cannot possibly need to emerge all of them onto one system.
If you're just looking to download all the files, then you don't want to use emerge -- you want to use rsync. man rsync for more details. (I hope you have lotsa disk space) Unless you have a need for all the files, I would encourage you to only download those that you do need. Bandwidth costs money -- maybe not to you, but certainly to the Gentoo project and those that support it. Be a good netizen and don't abuse that.

It's late but I think this will generate your list:
| Code: | | find /usr/portage -type d -maxdepth 3 -mindepth 3 | cut -d / -f 5 |
well guess there are 1966 packages. If you only want to download the sources then use emerge -f . Don't know why you want to do this, and frankly I don't wanna know,..... 
I told you it was late, maybe you need to filter some directories out of the list put | grep -v "/<directory>/" before cut....
