This sometimes arises when your shell is being loaded from a physical
filesystem that has been mounted, implicitly or explicitly,
with "noexec" in its mount options. Since the name is "/bin/sh", this
would indicate a chroot jail on a noexec filesystem.

There could be other reasons too, but since Portage uses chroot, the
above one sticks out in my mind.
