linux-atm-2.5.0 contains br2684ctl, so why do you want to install both?
Fixed in br2684ctl ebuild by replacing net-dialup/linux-atm dependency atom with =net-dialup/linux-atm-2.4.1*

These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: net-dialup/linux-atm:0 ('installed', '/', 'net-dialup/linux-atm-2.5.0', 'nomerge') pulled in by net-dialup/linux-atm required by ('installed', '/', 'net-dialup/ppp-2.4.4-r21', 'nomerge') ('ebuild', '/', 'net-dialup/linux-atm-2.4.1-r2', 'merge') pulled in by =net-dialup/linux-atm-2.4.1* required by ('installed', '/', 'net-misc/br2684ctl-20040226', 'nomerge') (and 1 more) Perhaps it is better to have portage just unmerge net-misc/br2684ctl with a block if net-dialup/linux-atm-2.5.0 is installed?
net-misc/br2684ctl is still needed by baselayout-1 (see bug 204186). I would be happy to get rid of this package, but until now no one tried to stabilize baselayout-2.
