yes, you need to decide what you want to do, portage isn't going to make the decision for you. Most people will probably want to upgrade so you'll need to unmerge the blocking packages before attempting the upgrade. emerge unmerge app-admin/gnome-system-tools x11-themes/gnome-themes is probably what you want to do.
