Latest emerge fails because of conflict between bluez and bluez-utils/bluez-libs. Bluez is pulled in by kvm which has been recently modified to use a bluetooth USE flag (see bug 261978). Fixed by disabling bluetooth USE flag for kvm.

First off, you're mixing ARCH and ~ARCH packages, so you're bound for some trouble. The stable packages (such as gvfs-1.0.3-r2, obexftp-0.22) don't yet have support for bluez-4, because no version of bluez-4 is classed as stable yet. You could go completely to bluez-4 by upgrading the four packages on your system (kdebluetooth, gvfs, obexftp and one other by the output of emerge), removing bluez-utils and bluez-libs and then installing bluez (the latest versions of the three known packages all support bluez-4). However since it appears from bug 261978 that kvm will build against either bluez-3 or bluez-4, my guess is that the deps on kvm could be changed to "|| ( net-wireless/bluez net-wireless/bluez-libs )" depending on whether kvm needs both bluez-libs and bluez-utils or just bluez-libs. As such I'm reassigning to kvm devs, but given you're mixing stable and unstable packages, it's entirely up to them whether they decide to make this change or not...
Of course we can set USE="-bluetooth" for kvm - that's workaround, but it's working.
I can't maintain kvm anymore.
There's nothing to fix, the only supported way is bluez-4. kdebluetooth has been masked for removal.
