Looks like my working version is masked, and the system is trying to downgrade
but failing.

emerge freetype 2.0.9 instead of 2.1.0 

2.1.0 has been quite wickedly buggy and is masked, the updated revision of xpdf
only works with that version of freetype and is also masked.

do an emerge --clean rsync and then emerge -u world

That should get you the working freetype (2.0.9) and the new xpdf which seems to
work fine with that freetype.
