Yes, it should, unless of course it leaves portage so borked it won't
sync. But as part of the tree, it shouldn't, since the whole tree should
be removable, taking a simple sync to return it.

just remove /usr/portage, mkdir /usr/portage, sync - and everything is back.
Everything in /usr/portage is very non-essential and can be restored with a
simple emerge --sync.
