I tried "emerge -avu" world today and got the following: [blocks B ] <=dev-php/php-4.99.99 (is blocking dev-php/mod_php-5.1.0_beta) This is strange, particularly because equery tells me I have php-5.0.3-r1 installed. I then typed emerge mod_php and so far (we're not finished yet) mod_php and its dependencies are building without complaint. If it makes any difference, the same emerge -avu world command also returned: [blocks B ] <=x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.8.2 (is blocking x11-themes/gtk- engines-2.6.3) [blocks B ] <app-admin/gnome-system-tools-1.1.91 (is blocking app-admin/ system-tools-backends-1.2.0) I don't know if these blockages are related to the mod_php weirdness or not.

php-5.0.* is now in package.mask (Bug 95777); the gnome block is covered in Bug 95411. If you want php-5.0.4 put it in package.unmask; the gnome blocks have to be unmerged if you want to upgrade.
