Dunno if it helps, but in my experience running 'emerge sync' first might fix such portage problems.

in these situations you can try downloading a portage snapshot first and uncompressing to /usr

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/snapshots/

Code:

tar xvfj poartage-foo.tar.bz2

I had the same problem:

Code:
Saltatempo root # emerge sync
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2051, in ?
    mytimestamp=time.mktime(time.strptime(content[0], "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000"))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/_strptime.py", line 424, in strptime
    raise ValueError("time data did not match format:  data=%s  fmt=%s" %
ValueError: time data did not match format:  data=  fmt=%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000
Saltatempo root #


... and I found out a faster way...

this is what:

Well, this is the initial situation:

Code:
Saltatempo root # find /usr/portage/ -name timestamp.chk
/usr/portage/metadata/dtd/timestamp.chk
/usr/portage/metadata/glsa/timestamp.chk
/usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk
Saltatempo root #


so, I decided to rename all the timestamp.chk files (;-)):

Code:
Saltatempo metadata # mv dtd/timestamp.chk dtd/timestamp.chk.bkp; mv glsa/timestamp.chk glsa/timestamp.chk.bkp ; mv timestamp.chk  timestamp.chk.bkp
Saltatempo metadata #


now, let's proof!:

Code:
Saltatempo metadata # emerge sync

Yuhuu It works!!!!

a rapid eye-check ;-):

Code:
Saltatempo metadata # find /usr/portage/ -name timestamp.chk
/usr/portage/metadata/dtd/timestamp.chk
/usr/portage/metadata/glsa/timestamp.chk
/usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk
Saltatempo metadata #


Actually, it seems that, if the file timestamp.chk is corrupted, portage get crash, but, if the file simply does not exist, portage - simply, create it ;-)
