I tried using the package cd to install metalog and apache2. They emerge fine using --usepkg, but both fail to start.

Code:
# /etc/init.d/metalog start
* Starting metalog...
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 534: 9216 Illegal instruction     start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/metalog -- -p /var/run/metalog.pid --daemonize ${METALOG_OPTS}
* Failed to start metalog

# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting metalog...
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 534: 9442 Illegal instruction     start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/metalog -- -p /var/run/metalog.pid --daemonize ${METALOG_OPTS}
* Failed to start metalog

/sbin/runscript.sh: line 534: 9454 Illegal instruction     /usr/sbin/apache2 -t ${APACHE2_OPTS} >/dev/null 2>&1
* Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 534: 9456 Illegal instruction      /usr/sbin/apache2 -t ${APACHE2_OPTS}


Other than the package cd I don't know how I can install these packages on my system. I might be able to compile them if I had the source, but I only have 90 min of keyboard time and can't garuntee that someone won't shut the system down after that time. (I'm in school)

Illegal instruction hints at the fact that your processor architecture doesn't match the one used to build those binary packages.
You'll be able to compile metalog just fine, it's a small package. apache2 can take longer, depending on how fast the processor is.

The package cd could either be x86 or i686. I'm leaning toward i686 because of the errors, but the system has a lowend Pentium MMX processor. I'm downloading the x86 packages cd at home now.

I unmerged metalog, but when I remerge it the following occurs:

Code:
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...
INCOMPLETE MERGE: /var/db/pkg/x11-base/-MERGING-xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.


does the package cd have source code or just binaries?
